Belgian designer Dries Van Noten presented his first collection in 1992. Since then, 25 years have passed and several dozen collections have passed. Yesterday, the designer and founder of the Dries Van Noten brand presented his 100th collection as part of the Paris Fashion Week.
For the presentation of the collection, the designer invited the models with whom he worked at the very beginning, either tired of 16-year-old inexperienced girls, or deciding to show the guests what path his brand has gone through. In any case, all the legendary models of the last four decades have appeared on the catwalk, from Carolyn Murphy to Leah Kebede.
In his anniversary collection, the designer used all his favorite techniques: the collection itself was built on a combination of feminine elegance and masculine motives, and the prints referred to the designer's favorite patterns throughout his work.
Needless to say, the collection is impressive. The main thing is that the designer managed not to immerse himself and his guests in the world of 25 years ago, but to play on his favorite motives so that the collection looks modern and fresh.
