"Let us consider ourselves normal and let others call us weird."

Dirk Vaessen’s interior objects bring expressive art into your home. His bold interior pieces are a direct extension of his wearable art, originally created for shows, video clips, dance, and performances. His work explores the human body through masks, bags, garments, and shoes always with his distinctive abstract and theatrical signature.

He graduated with distinction from the London College of Fashion (UAL) with a Master’s in Footwear. His graduation collection went viral, gaining worldwide attention and becoming one of the most viewed TikTok moments during London Fashion Week. Before that, he studied Product Design at ArtEZ (Arnhem, NL) and began his journey at 15 at SintLucas, where he trained in shoemaking to create heels in size 45.

His collection BRAVE HENDRIK challenges gender stereotypes, encouraging people to break free from labels and embrace fluid identities.

Dirk’s work is available for purchase, and he collaborates on performances, custom designs, and interdisciplinary projects that push creative boundaries. He also shares his expertise as a guest lecturer at London College of Fashion, ArtEZ, and SintLucas, inspiring the next generation of designers.
