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 atelier of Tim Van Steenbergen is located in an old sewing factory in the Antwerp suburbs. During the 60ies the building was the atelier of a traditional couture label that designed and produced every garment in that factory due to an established textile industry in Flanders. The atelier was completely furnished with different kinds of machines needed for the various production processes. The offices and the showroom were located in the front house.
Today, the atelier is still maintained like it was years ago and it reflects the history and the philosophy Tim believes in when creating his designs.
The studio Tim Van Steenbergen is the optimal place to realise his ideas, situated in the pocketsize metropolis Antwerp.
This refreshingly cosmopolitan owes its reputation to the mighty port, 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.
The home of the Flemish Baroque master Rubens.
The Red Star line company set off its ships on the transatlantic voyage with millions of emigrants who set out for a new life in the States and Canada.
Nowadays Antwerp is one of the fastest growing cultural cruise destinations in Europe.
Due to its excellent access it pushes you to travel the world looking for new impressions and personal experiences.
After all it is an attractive place to come home from where you can work independently and with an open minded view on the rest of the world.
