Various designers and artists are going to present their vision of gender during the FASHIONCLASH Festival Exhibition, which is situated next to the runway shows.įASHIONCLASH Festival 2015, the 7th edition of the international and interdisciplinary fashion festival takes place on June 11th – 14th in Maastricht. From this perspective fashion has an important empowering function, it can aid us to accept those that are different. An autonomous identity an individual has the right and freedom to build themselves. We believe clothing is an extension of personal identity. Is this a possible reality ?įASHIONCLASH FESTIVAL 2015 would like to invite you to celebrate the diversity of people and stimulate them to express their true self, whether that be provocateurs or conformists.

A world where all restrictive boundaries regarding gender roles and identities don't exist. This has led us to imagine a world without gender. Even selfridges has pioneered with a pop-up store offering genderless clothing. For instance presenting male’s skirts, which are still viewed as solely reserved for women, or the rise of unisex as the new androgynous.

The past few months we have seen many fashion designers, such as Vivienne Westwood, Dries van Noten or Givenchy, decide to break the traditional gender stereotypes in fashion. This theme shapes the campaign and the overall festival but is mostly visible in the exhibition area, various performances as well as several locations situated in and around Maastricht city centre. The concept of gender refers to sociocultural implications that define our biological sex – simply put the roles that differentiate between masculinity and femininity. This year's overarching theme during the FASHIONCLASH Festival is GENDER. > Making of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015 CampaignįASHIONCLASH Festival 2015 Theme - GENDERįASHIONCLASH believes that fashion as an art form can critically discuss current controversial issues which are discussed in society.
