Who will be the 10th Dutch fashion designer to receive the career boosting stipend of € 50.000,- and the iconic trophy designed by Studio Ted Noten from the former recipient Erik Frenken?

To celebrate our past we turn to the future! We believe in the strength of intergenerational exchange. Therefore, DFF offered a Pro Fashion GIF workshop to Dutch fashion students, and invited them to revive our archive and share their take on recent Dutch fashion history.

You can’t ponder the future, without considering the past. What has been happening in Dutch fashion for the past 25 years?

The Dutch Fashion Foundation (DFF) supports the social and cultural role of Dutch fashion on a national and international level by offering platforms for presentation, connection and knowledge exchange.

Based in Amsterdam, DFF is part of a network of the most talented Dutch fashion designers.

In 2000 the Dutch Fashion Foundation (DFF) emerges out of a growing need for the development of a Dutch fashion climate.

Angélique Westerhof, co-creator and director of the master course Fashion Institute Arnhem, perceived that graduated fashion designers experienced difficulties in presenting collections on their own, starting their own label and creating a connection with the international fashion industry. She established the Dutch Fashion Foundation to activate a collective, self organizing Dutch fashion discipline.

20 years of Dutch Fashion Foundation projects has grown an amazing family of fashion designers and a ‘second skin’ of creative and facilitating talents. Together they make up the blueprint for Dutch fashion today.
