Dries van noten

Dries van noten 2010 F/W collection

 실용적이고 꾀 남성적인 아이템들이 등장했다.

리치한 새틴 롱 스커트 위에 단순한 디테일의 오버 셔츠,

드레스에 매니쉬한 코트를 입고 손은 주머니에 넣은 채

무심한듯 걸어 오는 시크함과 내츄얼한 헤어까지.

그만의 트렌디 하면서 에스닉함이 인상적이다. 

Born in Autwerp in 1958, Dries Van Noten is the third generation in a family of tailors. Between the two world wars, his grandfather reworked second-hand clothes by turning them inside out and introduced Antwerp to the concept of ready-to-wear. In 1970 Dries' father opend a large upscale fashion boutique in the outskirts of Antwerp followed by a second outlet in the city centre where he sold collections by Ungaro, Ferragamo and Zegna. At the same time, his mother ran a Cassandre franchised store and collected autique lace and linen. From his education at a Jesuit school, Dries acquired great moral strength and a very practical outlook on life. His family background ensured that he was introduced to the world of fashion, its rites and traditons from the youngest age.
 In 1979, at the age of 18, he entered the fashion design course of Antwerp's Royal Academy. While continuing his studies, Van Noten began to work as a freelance designer for commercial collections for a Belgian manufacturer. This practical experience would prove invaluable when he started to produce and retail his own designs. After graduating, Van Noten continued to freelance before going onto producing his own collection of blazers, shirts and trousers. In 1986, opened a tiny eponymous boutique in Antwerp's gallery arcade. Here he sold his men's and women's collections, which were initially made frome the same fabrics.



In January 2007, Dries Van Noten opened a boutique in Paris. Here Van Noten set out to preserve the soul and history of the listed 17th century building in the very heart of paris. Dries Van Noten has been entirely self-financed since the beginning of his career and now sells his Men's, Women's and Accessories collections all over the world.
