Designer career
Designer career
In 1996, the Bikkembergs label was introduced to focus on football clothing. He was the first ever fashion designer to receive permission to hold a fashion show in a football stadium. Bikkembergs started using the team as his laboratory for styling and fabric technology. From exclusive jackets to high-performance underwear, all his designs are now tested and promoted by football players. The Dirk Bikkembergs Group's sponsorship of the team, now re-christened F.C. Bikkembergs Fossombrone, involved not only investment to bring in fresh talent, but also a revamp of their image.
