Schipperarques

Schipper/Arques is about celebrating shape and texture in a collection with strong contrasts between structure and fluidity,
combining underground influences with couture finishing techniques.
With attention to detail, a sophisticated collection both fragile and masculine pictures a world of romantic minimalism and laid back elegance against a backdrop of refined but militarized fetishism.
A passion for cut and construction form the foundation for every collection, supplemented by deliberately unpretentious but intricate pieces to balance the look.

Boris Schipper and Tomas Pedrosa Arques started working together in 1998 under the name Art of Vanity, first as stylists for clubs, music videos and fashion, but later evolving to attending high level private clients from New York to Monaco with
their designs.

To make a clear distinction from their work for Art of Vanity the Schipper/Arques label was started in Belgium as a prêt à
porter label in 2008, showing in Paris during fashion week in October 2008 for the first time.
