Regeneration: Fashion from the Ground Up

New Order of Fashion (NOoF) shows groundbreaking work by up-and-coming, radical designers in their LAB in Eindhoven under the title 'Fashion from the Ground Up'. Among others, Fasion Design alumnus Bastiaan Reijnen shows his graduation work: “The goal is to show clothing that deserves to exist forever and is not thrown away after a few wears”. This has everything to do with Regeneration, NOoF’s theme for this DDW edition. Regeneration is the process of renewing and repairing after something has been depleted, damaged or lost. Exactly this is what NOoF is fully committed to: finding bold ways to restore and replenish ecosystems.
