laika, this collection is so wonderful, I would want every piece! but what I would buy ... that I'm not sure until I try it on. Dries in reality can be hit or miss for me, since I'm so petite, not everything really suits me. I do really love the dress you picked. And for some reason, I'm really attracted to those leather leggings! But I think what I love most are the color and fabric combinations
gius, there was a very lovely representative from Dries who walked me through the collection and explained the fabrics.

tourist, thanks for the link! It's so rare to see Dries speak....
I have the exact same issue with his sizing--I'm just under 5'3" and normally a French 36, but the roomy cuts of the skirts and dresses tend to really swamp me.
Right now, I am having very lustful thoughts about this bag.
