Dries does it Again



We love the new Spring collection by notable Antwerp designer Dries Van Noten. The new collection makes extensive use of photo prints. For the "strange shapes"; Dries Van Noten found inspiration in the exaggerated volumes of mid-century haute couture: the mushrooming opera coats of Cristóbal Balenciaga, and the extreme ruffles, peplums, and structure of lesser known but adventurous Spanish and Italian couturiers of that period. "I didn’t want to use any prints that were created for fabrics," is how Dries Van Noten explains his new collection for Spring 2012. Simply beautiful!
