Abstract
The Arnhem Fashion District, which started in 2005, offers workspaces, shops and places to live
for fashion designers. More than fifty fashion designers and other creative entrepreneurs have
located their business in this neighbourhood. For a few years most of the fashion chain has been
present: design and sales of designer clothes and accessories, a model agency, a fashion
photographer, stylist, small‐scale production facilities (sample workshop) and a fashion incubator
(Arnhem Mode Incubator) which mainly supports start‐up entrepreneurs to develop their business
skills.
