About Xavier Delcour
Xavier Delcour is a Tournai-born designer who graduated from La Cambre Mode(s) in Brussels. His passion for rock culture and night clubbing, exhibited in his black clothing, was unanimously approved by the press and professional circles.
In 1995, he was awarded the prize for the best menswear collection at the European Festival for Young Designers in Hyeres and launched a range of accessories. In september of that year he presented a first men’s collection (Spring/Summer 1996) under his own name.
In his collections, Xavier Delcour is off-the-cuff and elegant. His man may initially seem rational, even conventional. The cut of the suits is rigorous and strict.

In 2003 Xavier presented his first women’s collection harmonising with his men’s styling but providing a new feminine identity. For the ladies he dared what he had never quite dared to do for men.
