Dries Van Noten

Dries Van Noten has an avant-garde yet innately wearable aesthetic. Since its beginnings in 1980s Belgium, the label has been a firm favourite among fashion publications and influencers. Meticulous tailoring takes centre stage across the brand's menswear and womenswear collections, where opulent prints and intricate detailing meet to form its distinctive style. Men exploring our Dries Van Noten online range will find understated tops, pants and jackets in rich block colours. Crafted from fine materials and expertly cut, their simplicity makes them a versatile choice. For the more adventurous shopper, theatrical and graphic prints are on hand to demonstrate the house's inimitable originality. Dries Van Noten women's clothing is equally indulgent. Juxtaposing colours and patterns, typical of the label's disruptive style, often come together on a single garment. Decadent printed blouses are a signature piece, made from delicate silk that drapes magnificently. Keep an eye out for asymmetrical designs too - a brand hallmark that skews typical womenswear shapes. Across both collections, a playful reconfiguration of traditional silhouettes highlights the label's experimental spirit. The careful construction of each piece hints at co-founder Dries Van Noten's heritage as a third-generation tailor. His careful eye lends itself to the sharp lines and finishes that give the brand its reputation.
