DRIES VAN NOTEN SPRING 2020


I mean what could go wrong? Christian Lacroix and Dries collaborate and it is so over the top, so Eddie and Patsy, such an antidote to what’s going on in fashion … it’s like this international fashion adventure unfolding before your eyes.

I’m not a fan of the oversized or seemingly shapeless pieces but jeez Louise there are enough jackets and coats to please an army of Dries and Christian fans. The use of dots of and animal prints is decidedly Lacroix and under the deft hand of Dries this is what fashion should be ... it makes you smile, it makes you dream, it is aspiration and inspirational … it lights up the runway. A collection like this awes you in the most positive sense of the word.

I imagine that seeing in this showroom might possibly be even more overwhelming than seeing it on the runway. My take is that there are a jillion ways to put this all together and not lose any of its potency. It’s an amazing mix of ruffles and rigid tailoring that yields an almost hyper feminized way of seeing Dries

If  there is something negative to say  about it, and you know I always have something negative to say,  it would be the platform shoes which  I personally  find do nothing to enhance the beauty of the clothes!
