Fashion Design is back with a live graduation show and celebrating its 70th anniversary!

The new class of the bachelor's course Fashion Design in Arnhem (Generation 65) cordially invites you to the live graduation show on Friday, June 2 in Musis Arnhem! After the past years of serving graduation films, the course is happy to announce an actual liveshow! And as icing on the cake, Fashion Design is also celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.

Live graduation show in Musis

Traditionally, the course is completed with a final collection presented in a liveshow. In the past three years, for well-known reasons, an alternative has been used for this: beautiful graduation films. Needless to say, the course is delighted to be able to organize a liveshow in Musis in Arnhem again this year. On Friday, June 2, it is time to shine! 26 graduation students will show their collection and one student is graduating in creative (show) production and is co-organizing this show. In addition, the final Collectie Arnhem '23 film will be shown and 1st and 2nd year students will present their projects.

In a liveshow, graduating students can show how they have grown into prospective fashion designers with a solid creative and technical foundation in four years of study. The course is known for its tremendous importance of craftsmanship. Each student has developed their own handwriting and style, so there will be very different collections on display. From technical, sober, natural to humorous, colorful with lots of print and material treatments.

There will be three performances. The first is at 3 pm, the second at 6 pm and the final one at 9 pm. Tickets can be ordered through the Musis website.

About the bachelor's course Fashion Design

70-year anniversary

An empty classroom, a handful of enthusiastic students and very limited resources to work with. It is 1953 and Elly Lamaker is at the forefront of a new department within the Art Academy Arnhem. The name of this new department? Fashion Design and Fashion Drawing.

70 years later, in 2023, the department looks completely different. About a hundred students from the Netherlands and abroad are currently studying Fashion Design at ArtEZ in Arnhem. A team of expert teachers guarantees the level and pace. The program was awarded the Grand Seigneur (the highest award within the Dutch fashion industry) in 2011 and accredited by the government (NVAO) with an excellent rating in 2014.
