Designers are moving into former brothels in Amsterdam
In the heart of Amsterdam's red-light area, prostitutes have been kicked out to make way for a controversial new scheme promoting the city's young fashion talent.
The red-light district of Amsterdam, famous for its sex shops, brothels and "coffee shops", is relaunching itself... as a fashion hotspot.
