Dries Van Noten
Belgian designer Dries Van Noten rose to fame when Barneys New York picked up the entirety of his first collection in 1986. Noten graduated from the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts and was one of the members of the nicknamed ‘Antwerp Six’ collective which also includes Ann Demeulemeester. His eccentric ready to wear style earned him a CFDA award in 2008 and the brand now sells in 400 stores worldwide. Dries Van Noten’s signature style is characterized by a unique use of colours, bold prints and layered textiles all of which are created in-house.▼
