SCHIPPER/ARQUES

high fashion ready to wear label Boris Schipper was born in the Netherlands in 1973 and Tomas Pedrosa Arques in Belgium in 1969. The SCHIPPER/ARQUES label was formed in Belgium in 2008. After dropping out of the Gerrit Rietveld academy in Amsterdam, Schipper and Pedrosa Arques started working together in 1998 as stylists for clubs, music videos and fashion, evolving to the point of catering to high level private clients worldwide. Their conceptual approach and counterculture story telling as well as an outspoken opinion about all visual communication and make-up are an essential part of the brand identity. Work has been published in Vogue China, Italy and Spain, Citizen K, Another Magazine and many others.
