The Dutch Fashion Foundation is a non-profit Dutch fashion incubator for upcoming Dutch fashion designers. It focuses on strengthening the social, economic and cultural role of Dutch fashion on a national and international level.〔(Dutch Fashion Foundation website )〕 The Dutch Fashion Foundation originated out of a growing request for growth and development of a Dutch fashion climate. In 2000 Angelique Westerhof, co-founder and director of the fashion master course Fashion Institute Arnhem, observed that fashion designers who had graduated from the Fashion Institute Arnhem had difficulties presenting their collection to a wider audience, set up their own fashion labels and find a connection with the fashion industry on their own. She established the Dutch Fashion Foundation in 2001 to develop the status of a collective Dutch fashion discipline.〔(Interview with Angelique Westerhof ), YouTube.〕〔''Mode kun je leren'', Mo Veld 28 November 2001, Het Parool.〕 In May 2003, the Dutch Fashion Foundation was officially introduced after being a silent corporation for two years.〔''Dutch Fashion Foundation krijgt eerbetoon'', ANP, 28 May 2003.〕 The Dutch Fashion Foundation is the initiator and organiser of the annual Dutch Fashion Awards and the international campaign Dutch Touch.〔''Getting on the double dutched bus'', WWD, Rosemary Feitelberg, 5 March 2005.〕〔PS van de Week - het Parool, ''Het interview: Angelique Westerhof'', Bregje Lampe.〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dutch Fashion Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
