The journalists from China, Germany, India and the UK enjoyed a diverse programme during their stay. They visited Dutch fashion companies and saw several Fashion Week shows, ranging from established brands to promising new talent as in Individuals by AMFI and LICHTING 2010, to complete their introduction to the world of Dutch fashion.

 

Following the visit, several articles on Dutch fashion will appear in the affiliated media. A selection of these articles will be published in the Media archive of the DutchDFA website.incoming-press-
