Starting January 24, Amsterdam International Fashion Week holds a series of public fashion shows in and around Amsterdam, most of them held by Dutch and Belgium designers.

As usual, the events are also accompanied by 'Laundry Days', meaning openings of galleries and museums and parties all across the city.

Amsterdam International Fashion Week has been growing since 2004, but it is only recently that they have achieved an international reputation as it has tried to establish itself as a place where new young designers can show their collections.They value originality above anything else, and tend to reject commercial brands.
