DRIES VAN NOTEN

Born in Antwerp in 1958, Dries Van Noten is the third generation in a family of tailors.His intellectual aesthetic first took the international fashion scene by storm when he and other graduates of Antwerp’s Royal Academy - the Antwerp Six - rented a truck and set up shop at London Fashion Week in 1986 after gathering experience freelancing as a consultant designer and working as a commercial designer for other companies.In 1986 he established his own label and opened his first boutique in the Belgian fashion capital, and in 1993 brought his women’s collection to the Paris runways.“I was doing something different than other designers,” he explained in 2000. “I showed delicate, fine dresses with rose prints and a rather Indian influence".Fabric is usually Van Noten’s starting point, along with a certain trademark exoticism — anything “that reroutes us from the ordinary,” to use his words. “I’m known for color and prints and embroideries; normally the more clashing it is, the more that I like it”.In 2008, he received the CFDA’s prestigious International Award.Van Noten has had a strong influence on younger designers, and he’s also mentored many.
