Those who think that fashion can replace prostitution seriously need their heads examined and those who say the two don't mix are in for a big surprise. Take a look how Amsterdam is making it all happen in the famous Red Light District.
The city unveiled its “Red Light Fashion” project on Saturday, having converted 16 buildings that used to house prostitutes in the city's ancient red light district into studios for young fashion designers.
The idea was born out of the government's desire to crack down on crime in the area. But many neighbors are displeased with the high-class newcomers in an area that thrives on its seedy reputation, and even the designers say they are taking a risk.
