PREVIOUS PROJECTS

At MAD, we are proud of the support we can offer to Brussels designers to help them grow into successful businesses. Therefore, we do not let results from previous fashion and design projects go to waste. On our website you can still find a trace of some of the bigger projects that MAD has initiated in the past.

United Fashion was a 4-year European exchange project initiated by MAD Brussels. The project was a collaboration between 7 partners from 6 different countries to promote entrepreneurial creativity and innovation to increase business opportunities for European fashion designers.

With United Fashion, MAD connected the fashion forces across Europe through a series of international networking events and transdisciplinary training workshops. More than 150 fashion designers, entrepreneurs and professionals joined the platform to exchange insights and best practices. United Fashion's vision was to create a stronger fashion sector in Europe by giving independent labels and designers the tools and skills to develop their businesses in a globalised world.

United Fashion was supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
