Dries Van Noten, Without Dries Van Noten
For the first time, Dries Van Noten’s brand showcased a collection without its founder, Dries Van Noten himself, during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday afternoon. After 38 years leading his label, the man, Dries Van Noten, retired from fashion in June, leaving behind a legacy that moved many to tears at his final men’s runway show. Now, the brand is embarking on a new journey as they design their Spring 2025 collection using inspiration drawn from the designer’s own archives, as no new creative director has been appointed yet.
