Program Hat Day - BMA Anniversary Day

This year, the Hat Day will take place on October 12th at Gebouw 055 in Apeldoorn. We are organizing the day in collaboration with the BMA, the Association of Fashion Crafts, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Therefore, the motto of the day is: Let's meet!

Some NHV members are also members of the BMA, but for most of us, it will be a first introduction. It will be a day full of diverse workshops, lectures, a large supplier market, the marketplace, various fashion shows, and even a film.
The BMA concludes this day with a dinner and a spectacular anniversary show. Here, the BMA members showcase their best with beautiful show pieces. Additionally, pieces by couturier Frank Govers will be shown, featuring hats by Marianne Jongkind. NHV members and non-members are also very welcome.
Overall, it will be a festive event with a very extensive program. The location is easily accessible by both car and public transport.
