Audrey Wyckmans

The Gigue collections are designed by Audrey Wyckmans. She is the head of our design team and the driving force behind the brand. Ever since childhood, Audrey has been surrounded by fashion. Her mother a model, her father a fashion designer. She inherited her passion for beauty and travel and an open view of the world from her parents.

Her father Jo Wyckmans founded Gigue in 1991. One year later Audrey joined the fashion house, where she developed her savoir-faire and an unbridled passion for fabrics. 10 years in at the fashion house, she took up the torch from her father and became head of design. Audrey loves the artisanal aspect of designing, experimenting with materials and colours and creating silhouettes, textures and designs.

During her design process, Audrey is at all times surrounded by a wealth of lush textiles. Whenever you walk by, she will undoubtedly have a new piece of fabric in hand. Only the most refined materials stand a chance. That is how every new collection starts. First with the fabrics and the colours, then the shapes follow.

Every detail in a Gigue silhouette is well thought out. The materials, the colour harmony, the finish. Each piece in the collection is fitted by Audrey and by her team until it is just right. Trust is a key principle at Gigue. Audrey builds up a warm relationship with her team, partners, and producers. These organic relationships ensure the continuity and quality of the brand.

Audrey is outspoken, joyous and generous, a strong woman. Just like her friends, her muses, who are one by one strong characters, accomplished women. The trips they take together, to Paris, Los Angeles and New York inspire the collections. She enjoys the sophisticated pleasures in life, refined luxuries such as the finest chocolate, exquisite bubbles and inviting interiors, which she loves to share with her friends and family.

In a fashion industry that releases new hypes and trends at a bamboozling pace, Audrey’s design approach offers a sophisticated alternative. Timeless, understated and elegant, her collections stand the test of time. Gigue offers fashion by women for women. The materials are rich to the touch and the shapes, be it sharply tailored or fluid, are comfortable and always chic.

Today you can find Audrey's collections in the Gigue boutiques and in multi-brand shops at home and abroad. Every aspect of Gigue bears Audrey's unmistakable signature. Confident, feminine and generous.
