Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition

Last weekend, Saturday 14 May, the exhibition 'Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition' was opened in NaiM/Bureau Europa.
Before the official opening there was a performance by Painted Series 'Painted Game'.

The programme for Out of Fashion – Maastricht Edition consists of an exhibition, a film programme and a series of events on the interaction between fashion and film. This project demonstrates how fashion houses, avant-garde designers and young, still unknown fashion designers make use of film, video and online media to shape, distribute and sell their designs and vision.

There is more to see and it's very worth to visit! 'Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition' is open until 26th of June 2011.
