NETHERLANDS, AMSTERDAM, 21 MARCH 2008
People pass time in the Red Light District. As of the beginning of 2008 several young fashion designer labs have settled amidst the Red Light District's girls of pleasure. The municipality of Amsterdam bought several brothels, and collaborates with NV Stadsgoed and fashion recruitment agency HTKN to redevelop the city's centre. For a period of one year the brothels will be loaned to dutch fashion design talents and used as shop-windows, workshops and living areas.
