Some years ago, he bought a skirt from French Hiatus, a company specialising in men’s skirts, and started wearing it in his neighbourhood, along with a few other skirts.

But there it didn't stop. Dirk wanted something special, and for years, he has been designing and making his own skirts. Many of his designs are very much his own and unique, resembling no other skirts, whether designed for women or men.
Often, he uses unusual materials and techniques, like glueing instead of stitching.

Dirk says that, of course, he is noticed when wearing his skirts, but no one seems to have any objections; rather, on the contrary. And his wife states that it is a non-event when she is out and about with her husband in skirts. Sometimes, Dirk will even wear his unique skirts to work, where they, no wonder, are also fully accepted.
