"The vibrant city of Maastricht served as a dynamic backdrop for the 17th edition of the FASHIONCLASH Festival, which took place from November 14 to 16, 2025. This international and multidisciplinary fashion festival once again demonstrated its significance as a platform for a new generation of designers, artists, and performers, bringing together talent from the Netherlands and over 25 countries worldwide."
"Over the course of three memorable days, FASHIONCLASH Festival captivated audiences with an engaging and thought-provoking program of performances, exhibitions, films, workshops, talks, and participatory projects. The program included standout components such as The CLASH House, the New Fashion Narratives exhibition, the Fashion Film Program & Awards, and the participatory initiative Fashion Makes Sense, among others. This remarkable festival presented a multifaceted view of contemporary fashion culture and enriched the local community's engagement with the arts."
"The festival's exploration of connection and creativity commenced on a powerful note with EAR to EAR, a choir that embodies intuitive listening and shared breath, kicking off the proceedings on Friday evening. Led by interdisciplinary artist Júlia Galarza Arévalo, EAR to EAR transformed the performance space into a living organism, showcasing how beauty can arise from genuine connection and collective listening. This soul-stirring performance set the tone for the days to come."
