Take a moment to unwind at the end of a busy week of design with a mindfulness workshop. Unum is a workshop which centres wool twining as a medium for connection, reflecting on the history and value of communal work. During the workshop, participants are invited to explore the relationship between body and mind, self and others, past and present, through this ancestral way of working. Over the session you will work hands-on with wool collected from the Kempische Heideschapen which will be integrated into a collective tapestry.

A wrap-up and collective reflection on the entire program. This final day is about synthesizing insights from the week’s talks, sharing experiences, and engaging the audience in dialogue about next steps. It’s less about presenting new content and more about making sense of it together: what have we learned about wool, sustainability, and regeneration? And crucially, what questions or actions do we carry forward beyond Dutch Design Week?

Panelists:

• Pollyanna Moss (NOOF)

• Anna Roos van Wijngaarden (Journalist)

• Haiko Huvenaars (Host & Moderator)

Showcase 2 - 3 projects our (former) talents are now involved in to understand how impact is made beyond the design table. Often we see talents developing themselves beyond just the practice of design. They get involved with all sorts of social initiatives that are aiming to make the world a bit better through design and fashion. We will invite Anabel Poh (Kantamanto Social Club) and x to our stage to share their stories, experiences, hopes and dreams.

Panelists:

• Anabel Poh (Kantamanto Social Club)

• Valentine Tinchant

• Haiko Huvenaars (Host & Moderator)

Understanding the perspectives, works and visions of emerging design talent. We will invite three talents to the stage to share their stories and learn how we can support them better. Based on photos of their making process they take us along their process of making and learn from their visions for a better industry.

Panelists:

• Sybrand Jansen

• Jaden Xinyu Li

This hands-on textile culture workshop invites participants to explore, handle, and reflect on a curated selection of recycled fibres, yarns, and textiles sourced directly from Prato, a global hub for wool recycling and circular textile practices. 

During the session, participants will have the opportunity to closely examine these materials, discuss their characteristics collectively, and engage in tactile learning. Together, we will analyse fibre types, yarn structures, and fabric qualities, using both guided insights and open exchange.

Each participant will create their own material datasheets and assemble a small personal textile archive to take home—reflecting the same materials preserved at NOOF. This process not only fosters individual learning but also builds a shared connection to the broader culture of textile reuse and sustainability. The workshop is designed as an open and collaborative space, welcoming diverse questions, experiences, and perspectives. Whether you're a maker, designer, researcher, or simply curious, your input is valuable—come ready to explore, learn, and contribute.

A look at the importance of creative infrastructure and talent development in driving the future of sustainable fashion. This day is two-fold: first, a panel on the ecosystem that nurtures young designers (using New Order of Fashion’s lab and the Lottozero Textile Laboratories as key examples), and second, an afternoon dedicated to “talent spotlights” – showcasing emerging designers’ work and perspectives. The main idea is to reflect on why institutions like ours (New Order of Fashion) and our partners exist, what roles they play in a larger network, and how investing in talent and creativity pays off for industry transformation.

Panelists:

• Tessa Moroder (Lottozero)

• Mariette Hoitink (HTNK & House of Denim)

• Frank Verkade (Nieuwe Instituut)

• Haiko Huvenaars (Host & Moderator)

Step into the world of natural colour. In this workshop, we immerse wool in baths full of plant-based pigments, from the warm tones of onion skins to the deep blues of indigo. You’ll witness fibers slowly transform, breathe in the herbal scents, and feel the softness of the wool in your hands. Together, we explore how textiles can take on colour without chemicals, honouring both nature and craft. A moment to slow down, to experiment, and to lose yourself in the magic of plant-based dyeing.

Inspiring case studies of pioneers who are practicing regenerative and circular approaches beyond the conventional paths. This talk shines a spotlight on three innovative initiatives – Claudy and Jesk Jongstra’s “LOADS” collection and two other regenerative pioneers – as examples of what is possible when one fundamentally rethinks how we produce and design textiles. These are the trailblazers operating largely outside mainstream industry, demonstrating “how it can be done differently.”

Panelists:

• Claudy Jongstra (LOADS Collection)

• Reina Ovinge (Knitwit Stable)

• Jesk Jongstra (LOADS Collection)

• Haiko Huvenaars (Host & Moderator)

Learn from Saar Snoek, a professional hat maker, how to create a small, wearable accessory using a “no-kill” alpaca fur technique. Join Saar on a journey into fur making and styling, and she shares her relationship with alpacas, from sourcing to selecting highest quality pieces from each fleece. Playfully apply the fundamentals of the wet felting technique for crafting fur-like textures. And finally get some handy aftercare techniques for detangling, brushing, trimming, shaping, and styling your new stylish hairy accessory.

What if the wool that farmers often discard could become the building block of future textiles? In this hands-on session, Boldwool introduces FeltFabriCk: an innovative process that fuses local wool with up-cycled fabrics into strong, expressive, and repairable materials. The workshop is both tactile and reflective: you’ll engage with wool as fiber, but also as part of an ecosystem where design, farming, and circular economy meet.

Learn how undervalued wool is transformed through enzyme-assisted washing and needle-felting. Together with students from ArtEZ from Collectie Arnhem 2025 experiment with layering and felting techniques to create your own small FeltFabriCk samples.

Explore the stories behind the material, from the farm where the wool was sheared, to the design possibilities it unlocks. No prior textile experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

Moving into solutions mode, this day addresses how the fashion/textile industry can be steered toward sustainability through policy, certification standards, and innovative business models. It builds on the prior discussions (the problems and ethics) and asks: what concrete mechanisms are in place, or need to be created, to change industry practices at scale? We will explore the role of government legislation, international standards (like those from Textile Exchange or others), and how companies can implement new models that prioritize sustainability and regeneration.

Panelists:

• Stijntje Jaspers (Fibershed Network Nederland)

• Janine Röling (Collectief Circulair Textiel)

In Which Animal is Present in Your Garment? we explore human - nonhuman animal relations in fashion by looking at the clothes we wear.

Daily we ‘encounter’ a broad range of nonhuman animals through the materiality of our clothes (leather, wool, fur, silk, feathers) and through representations in fashion media. While the fashion industry harbours extensive human – nonhuman animal relations, the actual lives or animals are hidden. Absent in the fashion discourse, this activity aims to invite a more critical and considerate attitude towards our relations with nonhuman animals. 

Which Animal is Present in Your Garment? usually takes the shape of a cloakroom intervention but for New Order of Fashion it’s translated into a short activity in which you are invited to analyse your own garment and answer a few questions about it.

 A critical and philosophical exploration of our relationship with animals in the context of fashion, using sheep and wool as the focal point. This session examines ethical, philosophical, and even spiritual perspectives on how humans treat animals (like sheep) as resources. It challenges the audience to reflect on concepts of commodification of living beings, welfare standards, and whether truly “humane” animal products are possible. The goal is a critical reflection on modern society’s stance toward animals in production systems, leading to questions about respect, coexistence, and responsibility.

• Femke de Vries (Researcher, Writer, Artist and Teacher)
