T.VDB is the creative studio, founded by the Belgian transdisciplinary artist and fashion designer Tom  Van der Borght. 

The studio focuses on people, rather than gender, as the core of T.VDB and its work is difficult to  capture under a binary definition, description or title. T.VDB focuses on sustainability. Tom Van der  Borght's work is internationally renowned for his non-conformist approach, which challenges and breaks  through rules and conventions, blurring the boundaries between fashion, performance and art. 
His work is highly conceptual, in which breaking through dominant values and norms is central. His  work is characterized by a traditional approach and the development of sustainable innovations. 
Tom Van der Borght works as an independent artist, on the boundaries of fashion, textiles, graphics,  video, performance, scenography and visual arts. 

In addition to developing autonomous work in the form of collections, artistic research, performance  and visual arts, Studio T.VDB works on commission for a wide range of partners and creative projects  (Mercedes-Benz, Lille3000, Baccarat, Lille3000, Chanel, Le19M , Blanca Li, Miet Warlop…)
