kleineFabriek

Coming edition, kleine fabriek offers a segmentation that is differentiated by lifestyle, image and distribution.
Every segment has its own stand design. By incorporating the following segments, kleine fabriek hopes to create more clarity for retailers, as well as for press and exhibitors.

Object+
The area for brands with collections consisting of toys, bed linen, furniture and interior accessories.
Star
Star is meant for brands with a distinctive own handwriting. The fashionable collections range from clothing to shoes and accessories.
Industry
The area for fast moving brands. Industry brands are trend sensitive, on top of the market and can adapt fast to the consumer’s needs. Sturdy collections for kids and teens.
Blueprint
The blueprint area is for those brands that have a strong emphasis on jeans in their collection. Jeans is at the core of their identity.

Monamici’s spring/summer 2013 collection is a fresh summer mix of flowers and hearts,  small checks and stripes, soft tones and bright colors.
Mixed but matched – just like kids want it!

A new communication, a new tone: IKKS launched their new campaign -IKKSBELIEVESINYOU- where they spotlight the rising stars of this moment. We are pleased to welcome them at kleine fabriek!

Not all children like to eat a typical kids menu of hamburger, hotdogs and fries. Families who are ready for something more adventurous can check out a great selection of Amsterdam restaurants during the upcoming Restaurant Week Kids. From April 29th to May 6th all kinds of eateries offer a special gastronomic menu for children and their company. We gladly recommend Restaurant Stork that is situated close to our office and has a great view, as well as Bridges, to be known as one of the best restaurants in town. A three course dinner is offered for €30 for adults and €15 for kids. A 3 course lunch is €25/12,50. Of every meal €1,50 is donated to charity organization Cliniclowns.

Last edition of kleine fabriek we asked the exhibitors to show us their favourite item of the new collection.

KF #14 – Toms:  “In this glitter style, Toms become more of a fashion statement, but never over the top because of it basic classic model!”

Amsterdam has got a new cultural hot spot. Eye, the Dutch national film institute, moved from it’s cosy historic building in Vondelpark to the waterfront on the North side of the city, opposite Amsterdam Central Station. It’s new home is quite spectacular, giving the impression a space shuttle landed on the banks of the IJ. Eye is more than a movie theatre, showing productions that span the entirety of international film history: from silent films dating back to the start of cinema to the newest digital productions. It is also an exhibition centre and organises all kinds of projects and events related to film. For children there is a special program a few days a week, with special events during the holidays. Last but not least: it is a great spot to have lunch or diner with a view, inside or outside. Pedestrians and bicyclists can hope on a free ferry behind CS to reach Eye.

Last edition of kleine fabriek we asked the exhibitors to show us their favourite item of the new collection.

KF #14 – Joe Color:  “We love this jacket. Sure, it’s not for everyone but if you feel gutsy and you’re into bright & shiny, this is the one to have. When fed up with mainstream, Joe Color is the brand to buy!”

Those of you that visited kleine fabriek in January will probably remember our ‘dot’ theme. And it’s funny how you start seeing dots everywhere once you got them on your mind. We noticed plenty in the collections shown by exhibitors. Maybe we were all inspired by 84 year old Japanese artist Kusama and her World of Dots. She began using polka dots in her artistic work when she was only 10 and they have been part of her artistic signature ever since. We’d love to check out her present exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane Australia, or Tate Modern in London,  but even online she is amazing!
