The Red Light Fashion Project
The Red Light Fashion Project enabled Hollands most up and coming fashion talents of this moment to open their studio in the centre of Amsterdam. In the beginning of April 2008 a shop opened in the area, the Code Gallery store, where the different works of these designers can be bought.
The Red Light Fashion Project is an initiative of the local government of Amsterdam, NV Stadsgoed and HTNK. After the closure of many windows in the Red Light District due to a new policy at the beginning of 2008, the buildings in the area were empty. With an eye on the redevelopment project of Amsterdam city centre, the local government of the city bought the empty buildings. They had the idea to let new en renowned fashion talents use the buildings as their studios for a year and work on their latest creations.
