Being Lichting Partner from the very start, we are very satisfied and proud to see how the platform has been developed: the successful outcome of young fashion professionals working for international fashion-houses, and showcasing potential start-ups. A graduate does not necessarily have to have the ambition to start it’s own business, and does not need to win the Panel-prize to gain success: a lot of the participants have been picked up immediately after the show by the best brands.
Having the support of young talent as one of our biggest focus – points, this is exactly the reason Amsterdam Fashion Week wants to continue developing the Lichting concept as a kick-start for the careers of the best new Dutch graduates.
Lichting has become the platform which HTNK and Amsterdam FashionWeek always dreamt about and with the involvement of parties such as Meester Koetsier Foundation, we are talking about the most prestigious award that is handed out in the Netherlands to talented fashion-designers.
