Dries Van Noten offers a new masculine collection with multiple references full of poetry…For his new masculine collection, Dries Van Noten took us to the South of Paris, into an industrial studio owned by RATP (the Parisian transport company). Between the former railway tracks on the ground and metallic beams, the Belgian designer contrasts his wardrobe with plenty of poetry, love (featuring an acoustic version of the song “Be my baby” by The Ronettes) and exoticism. The silver embroidery and decorations are found on the coats, checkered shirts, and military parkas. The trousers become Bermuda shorts and even kilts, with skirts made in velour, brocade, and thick cotton. The silk, quilted kimono jackets are adorned in warm colours. The smoking jacket in white, and also in black, is a nod to Yves Saint Laurent, and makes its comeback. Dries makes multiple references revolving around his love of mixing materials, by playing with superpositions, and by offering a new reinvented wardrobe each season. To note: the reflective strips on several parkas in reference to firemen uniforms and many reversible pieces.
