Fashion Show 2025
In this show, the Rietveld Fashion department experiments with the established hierarchical structure of what’s generally known as a fashion show; a catwalk on which models show looks, and an audience directed towards this catwalk, to see what’s on show. This years’ Fashion show, developed by the graduate students, slightly switches these roles. Visitors shift between being audience members and models. They too are on show, they too receive applause. As such, the perception of those involved in a fashion show, in the production of fashion, changes. Hierarchies and roles are blurred.
The collections of this generation show an exploration of the body in its many (fleshy) forms and pieces. The bodies’ movement, the act of wearing clothes (including its tears and stains). But also, reinterpretations of that we thought we knew - ranging from the everyday to the abstract realm of symbolics and illusions, onto the level of questioning our humanness.
