Filip Arickx also known as the 'F' in A.F.VANDEVORST, is a Belgian fashion designer, a creator and renegade innovator.
As part of the second wave of Belgian designers alongside Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho and Jurgi Persoons; An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx were responsible for making Antwerp a fashion mainstay destination in the late 90s. Seated at the loft, Filip takes Dominique on an enchanted journey from being a precocious teenager who wanted to be heard (and was, by none other than Antwerp Six member Dirk Bikkembergs) to his homecoming-run at the Antwerp Fashion Academy, where he met his future wife and design partner on the first day.
Filip also delves into the blending of influences that made up the A.F.VANDEVORST aesthetic and the road from self-funding a fashion label to working with investors.
Later in the episode, Filip discusses his brand new endeavour NIGHTFALL, the collaborative platform and adult toy company "worshipping pleasure at the altar of eros" he founded together with business partner Eveline Rigouts. Going into detail about its mission and intention, Filip discusses elevating eroticism and pleasure principles to new heights and how he wishes to define another era worth remembering .
