Made in Italy. 2022-2023 Collection New Never wore DRIES VAN NOTEN Flemish designer Dries Van Noten has established himself as a preeminent purveyor of eclectic style and craftsmanship since 1986. Van Noten’s refusal to concede to fleeting trends has led to an oeuvre defined by exquisite visual coherency. His inimitable approach has landed the third generation tailor and member of the legendary Antwerp Six collective accolades including the 2008 CFDA International Designer of the Year Award and a 2014 solo exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Defiantly modern and consistently subversive, the label’s womenswear features rich textiles, striking patterns, and soft, yet precise, tailoring. Acid-toned graphic florals and grunge plaids adorn shaggy knits, sheer button-ups, and shearling coats, while croc-embossed Chelsea boots, faux-fur handbags, and leather opera gloves add a touch of quirk to the mix. With a career spanning over thirty years, Dries Van Noten continues to challenge industry conventions with his unique and passionate vision.
