FASHIONCLASH: New Fashion Narratives with Glamcult

This year FASHIONCLASH  has introduced its latest exhibition, New Fashion Narratives, curated in collaboration with us here at Glamcult! To be exhibited at Bureau Europa, New Fashion Narratives is an international selection of designers who represent the new generation of talent. Exploring the discipline, and taking a multitude of approaches, the mission is varied and moves between the worlds of fashion, social design, visual arts and investigations into the relationships between user and consumer. The selection is an innovator’s dream and will be shown from this November 25th until the 27th (with an online addition on the 27th). Showing at Glamcult’s curation is some amazing talent, so to celebrate before the big day(s) we thought we would share the stories of some of the designers! Read all about them below, but make sure to check out the full roster here. 

Dutch design duo, SCHEPERS BOSMAN are the creative pair at this year’s FASHIONCLASH who are engaging with the heritage of the Netherlands. Taking inspiration from the Limburgish flag, their SS ’23 collection takes the colours and geometry of the flag, creating gemoteric-shaped garments. With each piece carefully constructed, the collection represents notions of communal labour and the concept of the individual underneath the uniform. The collection has also been crafted largely using Dutch-made materials, and are too manufactured here.

Aptly named after two great artists: Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali, Pablo Salvador Willemars’s work at this year’s exhibition takes a personal-driven approach. Described as a “portrait installation of a conversation between individuals in a silent train coupé”, the collection, titled, Beste Reizigers [Dear Travellers] is a looking glass into the Dutch culture of train travel. Made from NS uniforms, train covering’s and memorabilia (ashtrays and so forth), this collection has been entirely repurposed and tailored within a contemporary lens.
