Dries Van Noten
Contemporary or timeless? In the hands of Belgian label Dries Van Noten, the answer lies somewhere between the two. Since its eponymous founder emerged from the Antwerp Six – the pioneering collective of avant-garde Belgian designers that reshaped fashion in the 1980s – the house has become renowned for balancing elegance with eccentricity. For architectural tailoring, look to its crisp shirts and sharply pleated trousers, elevated by intricate embroidery and exaggerated proportions. Alternatively, explore an expansive selection of knitted accessories, finely crafted leather bags and soft suede Dustin trainers, each showcasing a more understated expression of the brand's distinctive design language. To complete the offering is a fragrance collection that is every bit as compelling. From the velvety florals of Fleur du Mal to the richer, fruit-infused notes of Soie Malaquais, Dries Van Noten extends its singular creative vision into the world of scent.
