Nanette Hogervorst from the magazine OW_Ourworld nominated Daniëlle Bruggeman for the VPRO Future Fashion Pioneers. She declared that:
"In my vision, the superficial image of fashion stands in the way of making change: fashion is 'frivolous', not something serious ... However, this 3 trillion-dollar industry is very serious, but we see it does not or it does not feel important enough. This is certainly the case for fashion as an academic discipline. Fashion is about culture, identity, Zeitgeist, gender, emancipation, etc. If we would recognize the importance of fashion in our society, then will help us to develop a different mindset about the fashion system. Daniëlle Bruggeman contributes to this by highlighting fashion as a respected academic discipline, which I think is important and I nominate her for that. "
