Soirée Artistique II with FASHIONCLASH

by Annemarije van Harten

The second edition of Soirée Artistique took place last weekend (Sunday 8th January) in La Bonbonnière in Maastricht. An afternoon with music, history, chocolate, and fashion. Fashion designers Annemarije van Harten, Saba Tark and Anya Liesnik designed outfits for the presenters of the event. FASHIONCLASH invited the designers to design outfits inspired by the featured composers and the time when they lived.
The programme featured works by Maastricht 19th century composers such as Alexander Batta (1816-1902), Joseph Hollmann (1852-1926), Andrée Bonhomme (1905 – 1982) and Jean Franssen (1893-1978). The music pieces were introduced by two presenters, theatre makers Els Roobroeck and Joost Horward.
