Regarded as one of the "Antwerp Six," Dries Van Noten was born into a family of tailors. This mysterious and understated design master has never compromised on contemporary trends. Perhaps driven by a romantic nature, he stubbornly transforms the multifaceted beauty of flowers and plants into inspiration, expressing their unique charm through an inclusive form, resulting in his distinctive signature designs.
Dries Van Noten's Spring/Summer 2023 menswear collection injects a touch of laziness and sensuality into traditional tailoring structures. In an age when we seek refuge, our hearts are filled with a desire for intimacy. Born from the confrontation of two energies, intimacy and softness, and aggressiveness and hardness; the precious sentiment of intimacy and the pursuit of subtlety collides with the strong exterior that protects itself from hardness and stubbornness. A game of darkness is in progress.
