Sjaak Hullekes and the Hul le Kes creative team to Curate Fashion + Design Festival Arnhem 2025. After the 2025 edition, a new Arnhem-related designer will take over as curator for FDFA.
“We have a rich history of makers connected to Arnhem. I want to share these roots with our visitors to inform, inspire, and connect them with the DNA of Arnhem. As FDFA, we embody the creativity that makers, nurtured in Arnhem, carry within them—something we must cherish as a city and be proud of.” – Sjaak Hullekes
With the departure of Sebastiaan Kramer as Creative Director of the FDFA Foundation, his role will be given a new form. After the 2025 edition, a new artistic leader will curate the FDFA every two years. For the coming years, the search will focus on designers with ties to Arnhem. First in line for this role is Sjaak Hullekes, who will take on the curatorship for one year.
“The FDFA board is very pleased to welcome Sjaak Hullekes as the new curator for FDFA 2025. The board looks forward to his vision, adding a new dimension to innovation and creativity in 2025. Sjaak’s expertise, his national and international network, and his understanding of the maker’s side will ensure that the 2025 festival will be another fantastic event.” – Ralph Dassen, Chairman of the FDFA Foundation Board.
