Dirk Bikkembergs

Dirk Bikkembergs was born in year 1959 in Bonn, Germany of Flemish parents. At first, Dirk Bikkembergs wanted to study law because he found that the judges were "so chic", but chose fashion instead and graduated from the Royal Academy of Anvers in 1980. He rose quickly to fame in 1985 with an original shoe collection which featured perforated soles and odd lacing. That collection was a big hit and won him a special award. Dirk Bikkembergs' designs for the British Design Show in 1986 were also very successful.

Dirk Bikkembergs started his own company in 1989 which has since flourished as the designer now sells worldwide.

The designer has three main collections: Dirk Bikkembergs, Bikkembergs White and Bikkembergs Red which was launched in June 2000 in the occasion of the Pitti Uomo Salon in Florence.
