Dries van Noten. The independent grandmaster of fashion. For more than a quarter of a century, this Belgian maestro has been designing fashion under his own name – excelling and exceeding himself season after season. To this end, the inspired polymath references both pop and highbrow culture. His capacity for artistic abstraction and his uncompromising stance on quality are the stuff of legends. Dries van Noten is – and remains – Antwerp’s finest.
