Dries Van Noten S/S 2025 Paris

[MulletProof]

The quietly-elegant, cleverly-sartorial, gentlewoman traveller seems to have left the building. In her place, is a woman who looks like she looks up to Diane von Furstenberg and Sarah Jessica Parker for her “wild” and “kooky” sensibility.

you nailed it! this is so DvF haha I was like ‘do I get Oscar de la Renta vibes? noo.. it’s something else, not as defined as De la Renta..’

this is a great palette cleanser and still staying true to the brand. wonder if they are thinking of promoting one of their studio design team member as CD.

Ouch… this is not good… to say the least

 

[WAVES]

fantastic collection!
definitely a more tamed Dries whom we will forever miss but nonetheless, stunning. edit out a couple of looks only and this is one remarkable collection. those leather python accessories are superb, the folded pencil skirts, the shoes, the colours and an immaculate styling.

the absolute best so far in PFW.

the shoes caught my eye first. i'm diggin them.

not bad at all! (let's be real, it's better than what dries had been doing...) the atelier should be very pleased and proud of themselves. this is solid, respectful, and a bit fashion forward. they understood the assignment. bravo!

i really like that the collection has feeling; there is life at DVN. i can't be mad or sad about this, i like it.

There is a certain magic that is missing, but Dries should be VERY proud of the team he cultivated because this is definitely one of the best “interim” collections I’ve seen. The spirit of the brand is very well protected and believe as their confidence grows the team can certainly carry the baton without a CD.

FAB shoes!!

Without animal prints, and a little bit more of experimentation with the patterns, this could have been better. As it is, I am not into it.

And the shoes remind me too much of Prada s/s 1998.

I guess I'm alone in this LOL

I think the collection is very cool beautiful they're leaning into a sexier option but that romantic dreamy quality is definitely gone there's a potential that this brand can turn into well anything.

the codes are there but this doesn't feel like Dries

I love the ideas even though I sometimes dont love the styling. You can clearly see full looks but also a looot of good separates.
The colors are great! Great collection imo

If Ann Demeulemeester could have the design team at this level 😔, that brand is such a mess now, i can't with that Gallici guy

 

[Not Plain Jane]

the magic/man is gone
but it's not bad; it's honouring.

 

[charmedp321]

I thought the team did a wonderful job, the transition seems very smooth. They can definitely stand to take some risks though.

The only thing that bothered me was the casting, Dries is known for celebrating niche cult favorite models, but this cast lacked that kind of presence. It was just the same trend of conveyor belt models.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

It's inoffensively solid. Hate the angle of the photos though. So annoying.

There's a lot of great pieces here, which you can't deny. Easy to pick apart the looks and find something that'll work. I think for a Dries-less debut a tighter edit should have been called for. Maybe the styling of the colours is just a tad too obvious as well, but again, the collection is a solid output so can't honestly complain too much at all.

This collection reads better in motion, in the runway video. For me, this represented an undisturbed chic and carry over of the distinct house code that Dries himself created over an illustrious and admirable career. A legend, and his vision lives on.
