The innovative À la Disposition label from New York by the designer couple Lynda and Daniel Kinne looks for perfect harmony between aesthetic form and modern functionality. The duo has received the necessary support from a large number of appreciable national and international magazines with their sculptured and avant-garde collection. Designer Carolyn Massey produces fashion for gentlemen, recognisable by its authentic English cut. Massey was the first solo designer to be sponsored for her show during London Fashion Week by the trendsetting label Topman, for which she also designed the ‘Carolyn Massey for Topman’ bestseller collection. Elsien Gringhuis established her name by winning, amongst others, the prestigious Italian ‘Camera Nazionale Della Moda’ award by Mittelmoda. Recently graduated and very promising talent Linda Valkeman will be demonstrating the beauty of chaos with ‘My Delirium’; a ‘high speed’ folklore collection with striking material combinations. She already managed to take credit for a number of nominations and presentations whilst she was still studying, including the nomination for the 2007 Piet Bakker Prize. Other brands exhibiting include Angelos Bratis, Melody Deldjou Fard and Wendy & Jim.

modefabriek will once again serve as a unique, distinctive and trendsetting stage for both national and international labels. A must for every fashion professional.
