Philosophy
The challenge in my work is the search for authenticity and artisanship in fashion.
The difference between confection and prêt-à-porter or couture is to be found in how it is made.
Handwork, quality of fabric, building a piece layer by layer, differentiates my work from confection.
I’m in search of old values in a new world.
The motivation in my work is to transfer craftsmanship and the old values into different and modern designs.
Due to my belief in artisanship, every garment is created by hand on the dummy to develop its characteristic shape.
These traditional construction process and unique draping techniques guarantee a high appreciated quality and an exclusive collection.
Studio Tim Van Steenbergen
The studio of Tim Van Steenbergen is located in a 19th century mansion close to the historical site of the Antwerp military hospital. An eclectic interior were fashion meets art, historical elements are confronted with design and vintage furniture.
The studio Tim Van Steenbergen is the optimal place to realize his ideas, situated in the pocketsize metropolis Antwerp. This refreshing cosmopolitan owes its reputation to the mighty part, the world diamond centre and its trendsetting vision of fashion.
This welcoming multicultural city-on-the-river the Scheld, is an intelligent, complex, fascinating and surprising habitat with a magnificent contemporary architecture, opera and theatre, monuments and artworks as well as its historical medieval centre.

Story:
ellen verbeek started her brand in 2000, passionated about shoes she went to Italy to the shoe area and got in touch with an artisanal factory, managed by older but very experienced craftsmen who could realise her architectural ideas on shoes.
Shoes are our connection with the earth, the foundation of a human body ! To combine these vulnerable elements with beauty gives a lot of happyness to people. Being stable in your shoes gives already a more secure feeling to people !
Her designs have a strong and recognisable image.
Using architecture and furniture shapes as a base of inspiration was a very interesting horizon to transform this on shoes.
She maintained her line underground, as not willing to transform the collection into a mass product.
The combination of natural materials, original heels in wood and elegant details melts into a strong image. She tries to combine rough and natural elements with feminine details and likes to play with this contrast.
Some heels are sculpted out of wood by hand, thus resulting in beautiful arc shapes which run down to the sole.
Playful and feminine are the keywords characterizing the collection.
With the collection ‘ellen verbeek’ we deliver exclusive quality shoes, advanced design in durable materials and quality workmanship.

BABBI was founded in 1992 by Barbara Giaclina. The founder had the desire to see her children wear home shoes that were both elegant and comfortable.

THE STORY
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
Do not say “just a ’tailor-made’ suit” about a Bordoni suit. Tommaso makes it a point of honor to take care of the measurements himself. A ‘normal’ tailor takes about 12-22 sizes. No less than 44 measures are recorded for a Bordoni suit.
Perfection down to the last detail … Extra stitching, ‘secret’ pockets, your own name embroidered on the inside, perfect finishing and the highest quality materials. You should not expect any less.
BORDONI is a clothing brand which specializes in bespoke suits, shirts and shoes. Every piece we produce is custom made to the specific needs of the customer. You are the designer of your own life, why shouldn’t you be the designer of your own clothes?
To guarantee the highest quality we work by appointment only. You can either make an appointment in the comfort of your own living room or office, or we can meet you at our headquarters in Belgium.
