| The Amsterdam International Fashion Week (AIFW) was launched in 2004 to put Amsterdam on the map as an inspiring, internationally oriented fashion destination. By now, the AIFW has become the most important semi-annual fashion event in the Netherlands. By providing a platform for the most beautiful and the very best that the Netherlands has to offer in fashion design, the AIFW is celebrating the creativity, glamour and magic that fashion inspires.
The AIFW devotes itself all year long to connecting people by creating bridges between culture and commerce, education and the business community, and fashion and other creative disciplines. Its partners are found in various disciplines within the fashion industry and include designers, businesses, academies and branch organisations. The AIFW sees bringing together various fields and strengthening the fashion network as one of its key tasks. It also sees itself as a platform determined to grow in size and impact. Even more than its own growth as a platform, the AIFW seeks to increase the success of the Dutch fashion sector: to ensure the recognition and guidance of talented designers, the growth of start-ups into successful businesses, an emphasis on success, and the sharing of expertise and ideas. The AIFW is the leading platform for addressing these themes, particularly in regard to looking ahead, the promotional aspects, and cooperation. |
