Gigue’s rich history

Gigue’s roots are in Antwerp, the Belgian city of fashion. Designer Jo Wyckmans was one of the first graduates at the Antwerp fashion academy. He founded the Gigue brand in 1991 and was the first to introduce the preppy look on the Belgian market. The style of the new label is characterised by pure silhouettes with a sporty twist and androgynous character.

The trouser suit as a signature look

Wyckmans’ talent, craftsmanship and, in particular, his emphasis on the perfect cut are a recipe for success. Since the inception of the brand, Gigue won the hearts of self-confident women who showcase their personality through their outfits. Gigue’s mix of Anglo-Saxon influences and French flair is unique in the fashion world. Jo Wyckmans’ signature look is the trouser suit: a smart, immaculately tailored suit combined with a classic shirt.

A nose for talent

Wyckmans draws his inspiration from travel, art and architecture and has a real nose for talent. From the very beginning, the Gigue campaigns feature numerous upcoming models and young talented photographers behind the lens. The Gigue catalogues are a true collector’s item. An ode to beauty, in its purest and most natural form.

From father to daughter

Jo’s daughter, Audrey Wyckmans, takes over Gigue’s creative management in 2001. Gigue’s style becomes more feminine and distinctly elegant with more colour and prints and yet the silhouettes are as refined as ever. The Gigue brand stays true to its heritage: with pure lines, classic looks, rich fabrics and an eye for quality.

The 2000s see the launch of 2 sporty collections: Gigue World and Gigue Sports. These lines prove to be a great success and are a playing field for creative ideas.

The Parisian Caroline de Maigret is the face of Gigue in 2002. The casual locks of de Maigret are draped over a navy trouser suit with a white shirt. This results in an iconic campaign image, photographed by Paul Bellaart.

In 2003 Annemarieke van Drimmelen appears on the front cover of the Gigue catalogue for the first time.

Today, it is Annemarieke herself who is often found behind the lens. The former model is now a celebrated photographer.
