MEN'S AND WOMEN'S
Dries Van Noten
Pattern arrives here as a structural decision rather than a surface one. The Antwerp house builds its collections outward from cloth — a floral enlarged past the point of prettiness, a print laid down with more depth than a season strictly needs, a ground colour chosen to carry weight rather than recede — and cuts shapes calm enough to let those textiles do the talking.
Layering is the second principle, and the two work together: a printed shirt under a quiet jacket, a patterned piece steadied by something plain. Colour is handled the same way, mixed in combinations that look improbable on the hanger and settle once worn. The cut runs relaxed rather than sharp, and the wardrobe assumes you will keep wearing a piece long after the collection it came from has passed.
