BRANKOPOPOVICBLOG: Modefabriek summer 2012 edition

Last weekend I visited the summer 2012 edition of Modefabriek in Amsterdam. Modefabriek is truly the Netherlands' largest and leading fashion trade show. For already 33 editions. What I like about the fair is that is fresh, clear, well organised and that it also provides platform for young labels.

Here is an overview of my personal highlights of this edition of Modefabriek:

- Talent 2012: Carlo Wijnands curated the 7 best fashion graduates from Dutch fashion academies.

- Cutting Edge presents Glenn Martens: for this edition the avant-garde platform Cutting Edge puts the spotlight on Glenn Martens.

- DFF Dutch Touch Coming Home: platform initated by Dutch Fashion Foundation where 11 prominent Dutch labels are presenting their ss2013 collections.

Participants for this edition: Bas Kosters, Studio Sober, Marcha Hüskes, Jessica Joyce, Marloes Blaas, Youasme Measyou, A.MAZE (People of the Labyrinths), Ready to Fish, Sjaak Hullekes, Jupe and Spijkers en Spijkers.

- MINT: MINT is a new tradeshow/event in Amsterdam, part of Modefabriek. It combines tradeshow and event, fashion and lifestyle. MINT has a vision for the future of fashion: great style, made with respect for people and our environment.
