Join the us for a Donation event and open-air fashion show this Saturday!
23 January 2025
The twenty regional and traditional costume groups photographed by Jimmy Nelson for his book Between the Sea and the Sky will gather on Saturday afternoon at the Zaanse Schans. From 2:00 to 3:00 PM, they will showcase their beautiful traditional attire during a unique open-air fashion show.
This extraordinary fashion show is free and open to the public, offering a rare opportunity to discover the diversity and beauty of Dutch traditions. The Zaanse Schans, with its historic windmills and authentic charm, provides the perfect backdrop for this celebration of culture and heritage.
As a token of gratitude for their participation and as a tribute to their resilience in keeping these traditions alive, the Jimmy Nelson Foundation will donate a piece of artwork to each of the twenty communities. This gesture ensures that a piece of art returns home, serving as a lasting reminder of their rich culture and our shared mission to preserve and celebrate it.
