Lichting 2010

Lichting 2010 at AIFW (Amsterdam International Fashion week)
15 July 2010 Westergasfabriek



Bringing together the very best of The Netherlands' fashion academies, Lichting was founded in 2007 to bridge the gap between the academies and students on the one side and the talent-hungry fashion industry on the other.
Each academy nominates their two best graduates. Selection at the academies is undertaken by the senior lecturers. A total of fourteen designers will show their collections at Amsterdam International Fashion Week (AIFW). As a result, Lichting is one of the most highly principled fashion events in the Netherlands, both in terms of quality and representation.

As official supporter of Lichting 2010, G-Star presents the G-Star Raw Talent Award; a €10.000 prize and experience trip to New York. The winner will be part of the G-Star Raw backstage team during the upcoming New York Fashion Week show on 14 September.

Fashion and Textile design
This year presentation of the fashion design graduates is really strong. Beautiful photography and collection books. One of my favorites is Yvonne Laufer. Ingo Binder made a really strong mens collection inspired by pelgrims and is selected for Lichting 2010 together with Karolina Nieslony. Nora Julliette designed a nice and wearable mens collection, very well styled with self made accessories. But overall I have to say well done! to the eight graduates.

'One Seventy Four' by Valentina Vos

Meet Valentina Vos, a young and passionate fashion photographer, just graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts Maastricht.


Valentina Vos

For her graduation project she photographed 25 young models. She photographed these girls in their most natural and vulnerable state, not as models but as beautiful young women.

" During these photoshoots I concentrated on portraying the characters of the girls instead of their appearances. Nowadays more and more young girls are being portrayed as women and I wanted to break with this. I’m showing you the girls, not the models.” – Valentina Vos

The whole project is now published in the book entiteld, One Seventy Four, and is now available for purchase. You can order it through valentinavos@live.nl.
