Prince Claus Fund

On 11 July at Amsterdam’s Bijlmer Park Theatre, the Prince Claus Fund and Music And Fashion Battle (MAFB) hosted ‘Facing Up to the Past’, an evening of fashion and lectures commemorating the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery.

Michelangelo Winklaar, originally from Curaçao, showed his latest collection 'Independentia’, which focused on the empowerment of women. Hand-knitted, layered dresses with handmade flowers defined the collection.
