PRESENTATION
TEAM TILBURG
Team Tilburg investigated how fashion can be a means of social intervention. By extending the concept of fashion beyond clothing alone, with an emphasis on personal style and identity, a community project was realised that has been created in collaboration with the people of the neighbourhood.
The team hosted a photoshoot on the power of diversity; diversity in people and in fashion styles. With the help of a local team, Team Tilburg portrayed the striking and diverse youth of Tilburg Noord. The results, more than 25 portraits, were presented during the pop-up photo exhibition ‘De Stijl van Noord’ in NS16. The exhibition put these authentic youngsters from underrated Tilburg Noord in a positive light.
“Fashion is more than the way you dress, it emphasises personal style and identity. No filter, no glamorisation, just a lot of style and personality. No professional models either, but future role models for sure.”
