Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium Edition 12 - Ceremony - Recipient Mohamed Benchellal

We congratulate Mohamed Benchellal, recipient of the Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium Edition 12!

Mohamed Benchellal receives the Mode Stipendium for his designs that combine sculptural beauty with technical ingenuity. And because, as the standard-bearer of Dutch contemporary fashion, he has put himself on the international couture map in just a decade, entirely on his own strength and with unflappable ambition.

The Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium was celebrated on Wednesday November 29th 2023 at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and could also be viewed online with a live stream on the website of the Dutch Fashion Foundation.

The Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium was established by a private patron and the Cultuurfonds in 2011 and is the biggest grant made available to individual fashion designers in The Netherlands. The Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium is organized by the Cultuurfonds in collaboration with the Dutch Fashion Foundation.
