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?

We invite you to take a LOOK

Fashion journalist, par excellence

Fashion Director and Chief Fashion Critic for The New York Times

“I am really interested in what’s going to happen after COVID, that’s the big question. And what the kids think is going to happen. Will it change how we dress? How we think about shows and the system? And also, the question of global versus local is a big issue.”

“Change, what does that mean ‘Change’? Things are simply in motion, and this is just another phase. But I do think things will never go back to how they were before, and that is a good thing. We better get prepared to look ahead.”

“I wish for fashion to become deeper, slower, producing with a higher quality and in a more
inclusive way.”

French fashion designer and owner of Isabel Marant

“The industry has evolved with time and being a fashion designer has become a race against time. The life of a fashion designer is no longer sex, drugs and rock’n’roll.
Today, as in my early days, what motivates me is to take people out of their daily lives, to make them dream with clothes. More than ever, I want to do cheerful and sparkling things.”

French fashion and accessories designer and owner of Jérôme Dreyfuss 

“Creating useful pieces for contemporary women using leather that is durable, reparable and recyclable with a sip of French humor.”

American Fashion Critic

“Fashion designers weave intricate stories into their collections. Their runway shows and clothes are an art form, and should be treated as such. I research the inspirations, references and cultural ideas behind your favorite designers, then interpret them on my YouTube channel. Fashion is not shallow. Clothes are not trite.”

Associate Director MFA Fashion Design & Society at Parsons School of Design

“The most progressive thing we can do in fashion today, is to become truly inclusive of diversity. Not only from a representational perspective but an actionable one that purposely dismantles the many oppressive systems eliminating and silencing the beauty of this world and the people that inhabit it.”
