MILAN, Sep 26, 2005/ FW/ --- With sales of over 100 million euros, Dirk Bikkembergs has become a legend in his own time. Launching his label in 1986, which started as a shoe collection, the Dirk Bikkembergs line has now become a full fashion house that includes womenswear, menswear and accessories.

And for the coming Spring / Summer 2006, Dirk Bikkembergs once again will go from strength to strength with his seductive mix of glamour and exotic Caribbean flair.

If Dirk Bikkembergs likes his men strong, his women are very feminine but not scared of making strong statements. And this season, she is a femme fatale with iconic elegance intermingled with sugary-sweet items like baby doll dresses.

Merging the east and west, this time the islands of the Pacific and the Atlantic, Dirk Bikkembergs cuts kimono style sleeves from printed fabrics with all the colors of the tropical Caribbean.

And so that you will not forget that he is the sports design guru, he cleverly added soccer balls in the prints, giving it an iconoclastic feel.

The Dirk Bikkembergs woman is self-assured and has chameleon-like qualities when it comes to dressing.

She is as comfortable wearing tailored jackets, as she is with micro blouses in chiffon paired body-sculpted pants, then throw over it a leather trench coat. She can change from a jersey mini dress to a pindot skirt without batting an eyelash.

And that Virginia is what makes the Dirk Bikkembergs woman the most covetable in the room!
