DRIES VAN NOTEN

Dries Van Noten's creations, which combine vibrant colors and rigorous tailoring, are unique in fashion: there are very few designers as skilled with mismatched patterns as him, and his latest Spring-Summer proposal, where he plays with unexpected textiles, flattering wrap shapes and swirly psychedelic motifs, is a celebration of the label's aesthetic. Defined by playful designs and joyful hues, Van Noten's signature mix of prints and flattering shapes is perfectly balanced, especially in the series of cotton-voile camisoles and tunics: the Antwerp-born artist delights us with sophisticated details, using light layers of color-infused crepe and silk-georgette ruffles and showing various combinations of multi-fabric A-line midi dresses, floral-printed blouses, and coordinated long skirts to give a bohemian attitude and a distinctive feel to the season's key pieces.
