Antwerp-based designer Dries van Noten is stepping down as creative director
at his own eponymous fashion house in June. As such, the fashion
house, which was founded in 1986, has begun its search for a new creative
head. In light of the news, FashionUnited takes a look into Van Noten’s
design signatures as we wave farewell to the outgoing icon.


Van Noten was born with a love of clothes, a love that descended from
his grandfather and mother, who were tailors and designers at heart. His
family immersed him in the craft and skills of fabrics, which enthused him
about the power of flair and style for men and women. Van Noten set out to
explore the subjectivity of 'beauty' and the role it would play in his
life.


His research manifests itself in designs with luxurious layers in an
eclectic range of colours, textures and prints that define the
Antwerp-based designer's romantic feel. Van Noten sees a garment as an item
that speaks for itself but is part of a larger story; firstly a designer's
vision for a collection, secondly as part of the wearer's expression.


Van Noten derives pleasure from creating a garment that combines and
balances beauty, craftsmanship and function. In doing so, the garment
should be wearable and should still be part of someone's life story after a
while. Van Noten juggles colours, textures and light.
