Fashion for Good Museum

The expo: 'Fashion Week: A New Era' celebrates fashion through the years and explores how this phenomenon developed over time. How does the event influence the fashion industry? And what does the future hold for fashion week?

Every year during Fashion Week the latest fashion is shown on catwalks in Paris, Milan and New York and other metropoles across the globe. This iconic event has a major impact on the fashion industry and on our own wardrobes. In 'Fashion Week: A New Era', the Fashion for Good Museum unpacks the Fashion Week, delving into its past, present and future. View historic looks from the runways of Balenciaga, Versace, Moschino and many more; discover the innovative work of Dutch fashion designer Ronald van der Kemp and digital fashion house The Fabricant.

Is a T-shirt, made of organic cotton, sustainable? What is fast fashion actually? Should I buy vegan leather or real leather? What does circularity mean? Recycled polyester must be sustainable, right?

The world of sustainable fashion is very complex, but to guide you through it, on the 30th of June the Fashion for Good Museum organises an interactive session called “Tips for a Sustainable Wardrobe”. A fun and interactive talk - including quiz and sustainable price - to help you make your wardrobe more sustainable.
Learn more about the fashion industry, discover how clothing can be made as sustainable as possible in an "ideal world" and why it is so difficult to achieve this. Next to that many tips & tricks will be shared on how you can easily make your wardrobe more sustainable. A must-attend event for anyone interested in fashion, sustainability or innovation.

Fashion for Good believes that the fashion industry can and must change and is an expert in spreading the right knowledge about this. The museum on the Rokin in Amsterdam tells the stories behind the clothes you wear and how the right choices for those clothes can have a positive impact on the fashion industry.

In collaboration with the Flowers & Powers boutique, a beautiful flower shop with fresh and dried flowers in Amsterdam, we organise a special event at the museum to help you get your home ready for spring with dried flower bouquets or flower hoops.

As you might have seen, the GROW exhibition at the Fashion for Good Museum is filled with flower installations thanks to the amazing help of Flowers & Powers, a beautiful boutique with fresh and dried flowers in Amsterdam.

We are organising a workshop together with Flowers & Powers, where you will learn how to work with dried flowers and will make a stunning bouquet or flower hoop to take home. All while enjoying some drinks and snacks.

The Creative Directors of BOTTER and Nina Ricci, will take you into a deep dive on the relationship between nature and designing fashion.

Since forever, collections are based on the galaxy, designs based on fungus, floral application or leopard print accessoires - nature is a massive source of inspiration for the fashion industry.

Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter take this a level up. Their BOTTER manifesto says:

“(...) We care about fashion, as the golden daughter of all arts. We care about nature, as the golden mother of all arts. Without nature, no arts, nothing. Without the sea, no human, no us. (...)”

The BOTTER Coral Nursery, an organization that actively works on reviving the coral reef, and using innovative materials, such as the ocean waste plastic materials, for their collections is part of their mission to make a change in the industry.

Nature is not only their inspiration to create fashion, but also their drive.

Join the masterclass to learn more about their thought processes for creating fashion for BOTTER and Nina Ricci, struggles they’ve come across and their ultimate dreams.

Some questions that will be answered:

What does a day in the life of Lisi and Rushemy look like?

When and how did nature start influencing their work?

What is their biggest source of inspiration?

Are there assessments to be made between nature and commerciality?

What can you, as a consumer, do to make a positive impact?

If you have any questions for Lisi and Rushemy, please make sure to submit them or ask them during the Q&A!
