LICHTING was founded in 2007 to bridge the gap between the academies and GRADUATES and the talent-hungry fashion industry. It brings together the very best of each of the 7 Dutch fashion academies. LICHTING is an initiative of Amsterdam International Fashion Week, HTNK - Fashion Recruitment & Consultancy, and Premsela - Dutch Platform for Design and Fashion, in collaboration with G-Star Raw.

For the FOURTH year in a row LICHTING provides a platform for the next generation of fashion talent. The concept of LICHTING is simple: the best of 2010's graduates in one central catwalk show. 14 students in total will show their 5 strongest graduating pieces. Both design decision makers within the audience and a professional international panel of fashion connaisseurs will decide who will receive the ‘G-Star Raw Talent Award' of the year 2010.

Participating academies
AMFI Amsterdam Fashion Institute, ArtEZ Academy of Visual Arts Arnhem, Utrecht School of the Arts, Royal Academy of Art The Hague, Zuyd University Maastricht, Gerrit Rietveld Academy Amsterdam and the Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam.

Supported by G-Star Raw

G-Star presents the G-Star Raw Talent Award; a 10.000,- euro prize and experience trip to New York.
