My friend TIKMAN is a choleric character. This character perceives exclusively with the sense of taste. This is also reflected in the name Tik.man which is Filipino and means taste. Tikman’s color is a furious red. This strong-willed, fearless and determined character can also be unbalanced, short-tempered, and aggressive. The choleric character is only one of the four temperaments that can be found in every personality.

The shape of the body of this sculpture is intended to visually represent the archetypal features. The clothing is precisely tailored to the body and takes on the sense of taste and the characters traits. It fits everyone who feels like Tikman.

The striped velvet jacket is the perfect medium between a fashionable party jacket on one side and a rainproof but breathable jacket on the other side. The print is inspired by red cabbage. The padded trousers with three legs can also be a fun jacket. Everything is up to individual creativity. This collection invites you to express yourself.

Tikman has some very fun accessoires. The two different ‘hand’ bags are literally handbags. Tikman uses them as gloves and bags. You could do the same…
