Born in Poland, Aleks Kurkowski immigrated with her family to West Germany at the age of 8. First, it was her plan to study architecture or mathematics. Tempted by a documentary about design, she decided to go into fashion. The designer started gaining experience in small design studios and worked in the fashion industry for a few years after her graduation at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover. In 2012 Aleks Kurkowski followed her dream and started her own label. In September 2013 the designer did the next step to professionalize her business by moving to Berlin. Her affinity for architecture and mathematics she now implements into her collections through straight-lined and geometric shapes.
