AMFI TRANSIT 2012
Transit 2012 celebrated 20 years of AMFI. All former staff-members and former students from AMFI, Charles Montaigne and Mr. Koetsier were invited to a special alumni programme in the World Fashion Centre. Furthermore AMFI graduate and fashion photographer Duy Quoc Vo organised a photo-exhibition with portraits of 20 successful alumni from the fashion industry.
During Transit 2012 Designer Yvonne Kwok showed her graduation collection to an enthusiastic public. AMFI is proud that just two weeks later with this collection she won the G-Star RAW Talent award 2012 during Amsterdam Fashion Week.
AMFI TRANSIT 2011
AMFI Transit 2011, the 6th edition of the event presented the work of more than 125 Design, Management and Branding graduates. Design students showed their collections on the catwalk and the final products of all three departments were presented at the exhibition.
For example, forecasting and collection books, brand manuals, production and business strategies, textile innovation and retail concepts. The diversity of products offered visitors an environment full of inspiration.
AMFI TRANSIT 2010
AMFI Transit 2010 was a jubilee edition; it was the 5th time the event had been organised. In light of this jubilee there was an award show during which eight prizes were presented to talented graduates. For Fashion & Design there was, for example, the Dr. Livingstone award (for most adventurous and authentic collection), for Fashion & Management the Green Globe award (for most innovative solution) and for Fashion & Branding the Magic Hat award (for most original thinking).
AMFI TRANSIT 2009
During AMFI Transit 2009 23 Fashion & Design graduates showed their collections on the catwalk; a huge show. This year the exhibition not only presented the graduates’ final products, but also the process that led to these products.
A sketch, concept or sample proved to be just as inspiring as a research rapport, collection, brand manual or forecasting book. During Transit 2009 Branding and Management graduates also took part in a talk show with several speakers on the topic ‘Happy Crisis’, moderated by Bahram Sadeghi (de Balie).
AMFI TRANSIT 2008
In 2008 AMFI Transit was organised in the World Fashion Centre for the first time. The programme contained a catwalk show, exhibition and talk show. During the talk show six Branding and Management graduates discussed several topics with three fashion professionals; Carlo Wijnands (AFW), Marian Wigger (Zenggi.com) and Peter van Rhoon (CODE magazine).
Design graduate Anneloes van Osselaer, who presented an impressive collection during Transit, also won the G-Star RAW Talent award 2008 a few weeks later during Amsterdam Fashion Week.
AMFI TRANSIT 2007
In 2007 AMFI Transit was organised at two locations; former BG and Club 11 in Amsterdam. The theme of this years’ Transit was inside metamorphoses: the mental and physic change students go through during their study. Focus in the presentations was on personal growth and the transit from student to professional.
AMFI TRANSIT 2006
The first edition of AMFI Transit in 2006 was organised in the Zuiveringshal of the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. This was the first time that graduates from all three departments presented their work to the public during a joint event.
All decor ellements were painted white as a metaphore for transition; the student as a blank page on the threshold of a new phase in life: ready to conquer a position in the fashion world.
