Dries van Noten

mine's from Barney's and Neiman's.

luckyme: those are some lovely pieces!!

I usually buy in-store at Selfridges and Browns
Online: envoyofbelfast; ln-cc; mytheresa; yoox; bagheera; Browns; Antonioli

 

[luckyme]

thank you, luluposh...i wish envoy would update more! Antonioli has quite a bit and its a very different buy from most others, i've heard good things about them.

as a sidenote I wish i could visit selfridges, especially after watching jeremy piven in masterpiece theater portray him.

ta-ta, i didnt realize neimans carried Dries. probably mostly runway pieces, right? i know that barneys has a huge, huge selection every year and they seem to receive it very early.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Yes, they have for years, but totally under the radar since none of it's online. (Do you understand the rules behind all that?) I have gone there only as a last resort since Barney's & Nordstrom came, and now I'm reluctantly going back. Their buy seemed pretty basic & neutral to me, not statementy like Barney's. Based on what other lines looked like, I think that may be the actual nature of the buy rather than the exciting pieces having already been scooped up ... I didn't notice what they had in shoes, there I was just checking on a couple of other lines.

 

[luckyme]

i dont understand contractually why some can sell online and not others but i dont mind it since Dries up close and personal is what takes my breath away...

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I had no problem with it either, as long as Barney's was here Now it's starting to seem like a problem ...

New. Photo doesn't do this shirt justice. Dries really makes simple, nice checks. Photo by me.

the barneys in sf doesn't carry dries clothing, only shoes/bags...
in person: m.a.c., cielo, saks (all in sf)
online: mytheresa, antonioli (browns no longer ships dries to the u.s.; weird)

finally tried on the quilted floral/plaid pants and i'm in between sizes...
these are the 38's; the 40's fit like low-rider jeans and made the length too long...

 

[luckyme]

I was bummed about browns as well, the prices were good, relatively speaking, and they buy a nice assortment of what i want...oh well :-(

as far as those quilted pants the 38 seems to fit you perfectly and the colors are so good, they even call for attention just hanging in my closet.

I tried the black floral windbreaker and sadly it swamped my frame because it was made for me personality wise.

 

[kimair]

^ they're a bit tight in the hips; it may be hard to tell from the pic, but the pockets are pulling in the front...
the SA suggested i sew them shut, but i kinda like the pockets...

what i really want to find is more skirts from this collection...
my theresa had one that was the silver plaid in the front and cream/blue/red plaid in the back and i'm kicking myself for not getting it...

 

[luckyme]

a floral and a plaid from spring and a stripe knit as well as a not so plain black skirt/pant combo from fall capsule.
safe to say the effect Dries has on me is pretty incredible...

if anyone is looking for a nice long trenchcoat, dries has a good one this season...
it's available in black and in blk/wht tweed, and has a great way of buttoning at the collar...

sooo good...
only 2 grand...

i look bloody awful in a trench but it's just great, so I thought I'd pass that along...

 

[eeyore]

got this dress but in the black floral print that tourist and luckyme had posted. i normally don't care for florals, but this was so gorgeous. it is deliciously kimono-ish and has pockets!

[ChrissyM]

the plaid is great but i'm sure the floral is equally lovely.

[softgrey]

that is such an odd thing...
not sure about that...



thanks for posting runner...
interesting...

i keep thinking that dries is going to quit next...
all my faves seem to be going one by one...

and i haven't been feeling dries for awhile, so either he has picked up a new market and will keep going...
or he is going to stop and start gardening full-time...

we shall see...

 

[softgrey]

i love the ss 2014 season...
reminds me of the old dries that i love so much...

 

[nat_attak]

[softgrey]
