TOM VAN DER BORGHT

»T.VDB reflects on a new concept of luxury in a social and sustainable reality. I create precious, long-lasting handmade pieces. They challenge the customers’ desire and invite him/her/they to dare to wear them.«

Tom van der Borght

Belgian designer Tom Van Der Borght studied at Stedelijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten (SASK). Using upcycled and unconventional materials such as leftover rope, plastic tubes and vegetable fur to bring his creations to life, his attention-grabbing designs are intended as a message of hope, liberty and non-conformism. Tom Van der Borght’s oeuvre explores what the future of luxury and haute couture could look like, offering sartorial optimism and a sense of community. His collection entitled Seven Ways to Be T.VDB, based on seven stages of the designer’s personal life, impressed the jury of Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography 2020 – Tom Van Der Borght was the winner of the Première Vision Grand Prix.
