Centered on menswear, it also offers womenswear, childrenswear, shoes, and accessories, and embraces the idea of bringing sport and fashion together. Its motto is “Mens sana in corpore sano.” The brand continues to offer collections and e-commerce, and was once known for its connection to soccer, with several lines including Sport Couture and Bikkembergs Sport. Sources give the founding year as either 1986 or 1989, so it is omitted here because it cannot be confirmed.
