Leemans & Wicker (LEW)

Kim Leemans and Merel Wicker both graduated from the fashion department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in 2001. During their studies, they discovered the power of collaboration and have been partners ever since. Working as freelance fashion designers, they decided in 2007 that it was time to start their own label: LEW by Leemans & Wicker.

Concept and wearability are always at the heart of LEW collections. Striking craftsmanship and print design combined with fresh, mature colours and graphic shapes create a refreshing and powerful image.

LEW is a multidisciplinary studio and works for local and global clients. Over the years, the studio specialised in designing and creating concepts for corporate fashion. ‘The way LEW balances branding and fashion creates a new approach to corporate clothing: not rigid and predictable, but vibrant, progressive and open-minded.’
