Dries Van Noten was born in Antwerp, Belgium in 1958. He was born into a family of tailors, making him a third-generation legacy. He graduated from the Antwerp Royal Academy for Fashion Design and did freelance designer work before starting his eponymous brand in 1986. Dries Van Noten has presented seasonal collections every year since its inception. The brand's garments focus on designs that fuse and balance beauty, ones that can perform well for generations. The fashion house enjoys juggling with colors, textures + light in a way that evokes rather than provokes. 2019 saw Dries Van Noten collaborate with world-renowned fashion designer Christian Lacroix on his Spring/Summer collection. Van Noten has received multiple fashion awards in his lifetime for his incredible work. View more
