About Addy van den Krommenacker
The life of Addy van den Krommenacker (1950) has been dedicated to fashion from the time he was very young. He became famous for his styling advice. In the late 1990s, his international designer clothing caught the eye of famous Dutch women, including Willeke Alberti, Jette van der Meij and Sandra Reemer. In 2001, the Netherlands was introduced to couture of his own design. His first designs were shown to a wider audience in 2002, during the Beau Monde Fashion Awards, followed by the launch of a complete haute couture collection in 2003. In 2007, Addy made his international debut in Rome at the Alta Roma Fashion Week and his work was awarded a Look of the Year Award for best foreign designer.

Since 2002, Addy has dressed many members of the royal family. A personal high point for Addy was in 2012, when he was allowed to design a wedding dress for Princess Carolina de Bourbon de Parma. What made this extra special, was being allowed to use lace from Princess Irene's wedding dress, which was given to her by her mother, Queen Juliana. For the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander on 30 April 2013, a moment that will go down in history, a number of princesses chose one or more creations by Van den Krommenacker. But they also turn to Addy for other special occasions.

International attention
Meanwhile, his collections were also sold in Germany, Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan and Dubai. From the Haute Couture Fashion Week in Rome and the International Film Festival in Cannes, to shows in Kazakhstan, Sarajevo, the Twin Tower Bridge in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Fashion Week in Perth (Australia) and the Indonesia Fashion Week in Jakarta, his feminine designs are highly admired around the world. Various dresses by Addy also graced the red carpet at the Oscars/Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Uniquely for a Dutch designer, the couturier also played a central role in an episode of America's Next Top Model: not only was his collection shown in 130 countries during the season finale, which was broadcast worldwide, but host and model Tyra Banks wore a creation that he designed. During that same broadcast – viewed by millions of fashion lovers worldwide – Van den Krommenacker was also on the panel of judges.
