Born: Flamersheim, Germany, 1962

Part of the Belgian contingent that gained prominence during the early 1990s, Dirk Bikkembergs first became famous for his footwear, with his functional, hard-wearing shoes.

Bikkembergs studied fashion at the Royal Academy of Arts in Antwerp, and worked as a freelance designer for a variety of companies before launching his own line in 1985. His first menswear collection was shown in 1988, followed by womenswear five years later.
