A.F.Vandevorst

A.F.Vandevorst is an Antwerp fashion house founded in 1997 by Filip Arickx and An Vandevorst, and active until 2020. Its work moved between fashion, art and performance, exploring protection, care and uniform, with military references and a red cross that became the label's signature.

Among its most enduring designs is the X010 biker boot, first introduced in 2000. In May 2025 the designers reissued it for its 25th anniversary, using the original pattern and the same type of leather. It is made in Italy by a small family-owned company, in heavy black vegetable dyed calfskin with leather soles, in high and low versions. Each pair is handcrafted over about two months. Andreas Murkudis in Berlin stocks the label.
