Working under his own studio and label, Bryan LeoBernard Borghans operates as a multidisciplinary creative with a strong awareness of materiality and contemporary culture. His practice moves effortlessly between fashion, product design, art and spatial concepts, guided by an interest in transformation and reuse.

 

By reworking existing and high-quality materials, his designs balance high-end aesthetics with wearability, often introducing an unexpected twist. Themes such as celebration, collective memory, and material traces inform his work, resulting in pieces that merge craftsmanship with conceptual depth.

With experience in couture environments as well as hands-on design disciplines, his approach is intuitive, detail-oriented, and highly tactile. While concept and structure play an important role, the process remains rooted in making, experimentation, and direct engagement with materials. Known for his open and collaborative nature, he adapts easily to different creative contexts while maintaining a clear and recognizable signature.
