The campaign for FASHIONCLASH Festival 2024, consisting of a series of photos and a short fashion film, is developed in collaboration with Maastricht-based art director Ruben Hilkens, including local performers and students of Institute of Performative Arts, wearing designs by Dirk Vaessen, Peter Wertmann and Batuhan Demir, amongst others.
The multimedia campaign symbolizes CLASH, the multidisciplinary artistic method of FASHIONCLASH, which stands for the unexpected connections between people, fashion, different art forms and industries. By making surprising connections, FASHIONCLASH explores the role of fashion, the multimedia (fashion) language and new visions and practices. The platform aims to make critical reflection on social issues, visual arts and design visible in an increasingly innovative and practical (hands-on) way. In addition, for each festival edition the campaign project serves as a platform through which we invite designers and artists to express their perspective on FASHIONCLASH and/or fashion (world) in general.
