The first Rambler studio opened in Amsterdam. Rambler Studios’ mission is to mentor young people, aged between 18 and 30, who are currently not in education or work and provide them with a platform for creative expression, skill development and personal exploration.
The young people are called Ramblers: walking, searching, but who will one day find their path in life. Young people who have faced many challenges and landed on this path are referred through the community. Some remain active at Rambler Studios for several years and others move on more quickly, for example to fashion training.
The studios are run in partnership with a social organisation and led by a team of Rambler Creative Coaches and Lifestyle Coaches with a focus on fashion design and youth social work. Among other things, they help the young people design and make the clothes. The young people themselves earn a design fee when the garments are sold.
