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

DESIGN

The concept and wearability is always at the core of the LEW collections.
Eye-catching craftsmanship and print-design combined with fresh, mature colors and graphic shapes create a refreshing and powerful image.

THE STUDIO

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