IKKS was founded by Gérard Le Goff in 1987 in La Séguinière, France. Initially, the brand specialized in creating stylish clothing for children inspired by adult fashion. It wanted to break the codes of the children's wardrobe. Children and teenagers appreciated this change in the image of children's fashion, and it was an immediate success.

The IKKS logo, which has remained the same since 1987, features a bold font that highlights the brand name. The letters are all in capitals, with a constant thickness. The simplicity and clarity of the logo make it easily recognisable, while retaining a modern and timeless look.
