- W200212549 abstract "Internationally, the Dutch fashion industry is of modest importance. Although the Netherlandshas a large pool of talented young fashion designers, and although many young promisingfashion designers graduate from fashion academies each year, only very few ever becomeand remain to be successful in the international fashion world. How can this be explained? Inorder to find out what is ‘wrong’ with the Dutch fashion industry, one could look at Belgium.The Belgian fashion industry has delivered numerous successful fashion designers. Youngdesigners seem to be on the brink of stepping in the footsteps of very successful designerslike Dries van Noten or Ann Demeulemeester. Through a qualitative research withquantitative elements, this thesis attempts to explain the difference in commercial successbetween Dutch and Belgian fashion designers from a evolutionary perspective. The focuslies on two aspects of the fashion industry specifically: education and access to externalfinance.While differences in education are not such that they can account for differences incommercial success completely, several important differences in access to external financecan be held accountable. It appears that in order to obtain financial resources, Dutch andBelgian fashion designers follow very different paths. In the Netherlands, the easiest way toget financed is to apply for a variety of subsidies. To do so is completely rational. Subsidiesare awarded on the basis of artistic quality. As a result, Dutch fashion entrepreneurs stresstheir artistic value. In evolutionary terms: they adapt strategically to their (financial)environment. But when the subsidies end and one has to apply for more commercial forms offinancing, Dutch entrepreneurs find themselves trapped in artistry. At this point, thesedesigners would need entrepreneurial skills and characteristics. Instead, they are ‘selected’on qualities needed in an environment of subsidies. The subsidy system restrains Dutchdesigners from developing entrepreneurial characteristics and a proactive attitude towardsexternal financing that is needed when the subsidy system stops providing.The Belgian ‘financing environment’ is of a different character. In Belgium there is no‘easiest way’ to get financed. Subsidies are very rare and the subsidies that do exist aregranted on the basis of entrepreneurial qualities. As a result, Belgian fashion entrepreneursstress their entrepreneurial and commercial qualities. In evolutionary terms: they adaptthemselves strategically to their (financial) environment. As a result, the ‘natural’ selection onpotential (commercial) successfulness is not distorted by a subsidy system that disrupts thebalance between commerce and artisticity by only selecting on artistic talents." @default.
