Dries Van Noten fall men’s 2018




This is not dictatorial fashion. This is fashion as it should be....a tsunami of looks, talent and skill that is unleashed on an audience of fashion people who know what they are looking at and understand the DNA of the designer. Dries is a man of statements and of the evolutionary continuation of his vision.

It is a collection of attitude, knits, exquisite  embroideries, patterns, tailoring, lush color, not about absolutes but about options,  dissecting it piece by piece adding to your personal collection, a variety of proportions and silhouettes ... prolific,  western influences with piping and yokes, the antimacassar collared scarf brilliant and over the top.

The seismic explosion of hand painted pieces at the end (link below) you almost can’t take your eyes off the clothes... the casting is unimportant it all about clothes … yes there are styling tricks but if you know Dries you realize they are just that done for the bigger picture for maximum effect. It’s expecting the unexpected here …  no trend, nothing but unadulterated Dries,  no elaborate stage sets to detract… catwalk at  its best especially the finale which I urge you to watch as it is a glimpse back into what shows once were …….
