Igor Dieryck is a Belgian designer and graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.
His career in fashion is already impressive.
In 2023, at the age of 24, he was one of the big winners at the 38th edition of the incontrovertible Hyères Festival, with his unisex collection ‘Yessir’. Of the five fashion awards, the Belgian designer won three: the Première Vision Grand Jury Prize, the Chanel Award and the City of Hyères Public Prize.
Industry professionals unanimously praised the quality of a collection that was ‘just right and poetic’ as well as the narrative that went with it.
This comes as no surprise when you consider that at the age of 12, the young Igor was already presenting his first designs in a fashion show organised by his school...
A few months later, Igor won the title of ‘Emerging Talent of the Year’ at the Belgian Fashion Awards 2023.
His new collection, entitled AD FUNDUM, gives pride of place to Belgian student folklore. It’s a beautiful way to pay tribute to his origins, as he moved to Paris to be closer to the big fashion houses and opportunities.
Igor joined the prestigious brand Hermès as a junior designer for the menswear collections.
This did not prevent him from collaborating with many other brands.
In 2024, Igor teamed up with Dover Street Market Paris to create a pair of iconic shoes. He also designed a capsule collection for the famous Galeries Lafayette department store and a creation with the Belgian eyewear brand KOMONO.
Since this episode was filmed, Igor Dieryck has joined Dior. He works as a menswear designer under the direction of Jonathan Anderson.
