5 x why you can't miss the upcoming Summer edition of Modefabriek

While the positive energy of the last edition of Modefabriek is still lingering, we're already enthusiastically working on the upcoming summer edition. On July 6 & 7, 2025, we’re heading to yet another exciting new venue: Taets Art and Event Park, located at the HEMbrugterrein in Zaandam. This impressive location calls for a dynamic setup, with Modefabriek spread out across multiple buildings and a connecting outdoor area. Together, we’re taking the next step in Modefabriek’s big RE-NEW, RE-SET, RE-IMAGINE & RE-THINK strategy, and you don’t want to miss it!

Here are 5 x reasons why:

1. The meeting point for leading – and new – fashion entrepreneurs

Above all, Modefabriek is the place to discover (new) brands. Meet top agencies including Fashion Brewery, representing brands as Club L’Avenir, Second Female, Edited and Alohas. Other beautiful brands include POM Amsterdam, Neo Noir, Harper & Yve and Knit-ted. Our dedicated Spotlight area showcases not only trend-forward items but also brands with a unique story. Familiar yet always fresh – that’s what Modefabriek is all about.

2. A biannual boost of creativity, inspiration and good vibes

Modefabriek is internationally known for its stimulating and well-designed atmosphere, with bold event design, inspiring installations, unexpected activations, and plenty of warm, inviting spaces to meet, eat, and connect. The dynamic department store vibe – part of Modefabriek’s big RE-SET – continues this summer. And the unique features of our new location, like the outdoor event garden, are the perfect ingredients for an extra festive edition. Expect great food trucks, music, sun-drenched relax zones, and surprising events and activations by participating brands.

3. The energy of a new venue: Taets Art and Event Park

A new location brings new energy, something we experienced firsthand during the winter edition at EXPO Greater Amsterdam. That’s why we’re extra excited about our next adventure at the striking Taets Art and Event Park on the HEMbrugterrein in Zaandam. This beautiful piece of industrial heritage, located along the North Sea Canal, features multiple unique indoor spaces, connecting outdoor areas, and an event garden with a summery side program. It’s easy to reach by car or public transport and offers free parking. In short: this new Modefabriek chapter is one you won’t want to miss!

4. Prominent speakers share essential insights and inspiration

Keeping up with the latest trends and developments – and looking ahead – is essential in our industry. That’s why each season, Modefabriek curates an unmissable Talks program featuring prominent speakers. Think visionary trend forecasters in fashion, interiors, retail and consumer behaviour, experts in communication, social media and AI applications, and inspiring entrepreneurs sharing their stories. Pro tip: once the program goes live, study it and set a reminder in your calendar – because with everything going on this summer edition, you won’t want to miss your essential dose of insight and inspiration.

5. Quality and quantity of visitors

Modefabriek has long been the best-attended fashion trade show in the Netherlands – and it’s attracting more and more international visitors, particularly from the Northwest European region. That means not just broad reach, but high-quality reach. Despite all the challenges in the industry, Modefabriek continues to do what it does best – together with and for our exhibitors. Modefabriek proves that the Netherlands holds a strong and relevant position in the international women’s fashion market. And that’s another reason you simply can’t miss it.
