Dries Van Noten

Dries Van Noten

Hailing from Antwerp, Belgium, Dries Van Noten began his fashion career as part of the storied "Antwerp Six", a collective made up of six designers who graduated from the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts between 1980 and 1981 and quickly put the city on the map for avant-garde fashion design. Known for his use of compelling prints, van Noten has managed over the years to retain his prominence in the industry with his intellectual designs and practical outlook, giving his clothes a timeless quality that many designers strive for, but can't always achieve.
