Dries van Noten

[luckyme]

there is a bunch of the current season up on brownsfashion website. oddly my favorite piece is the plain black silk puffer jacket (I could imagine how velvety soft it is) but the blue marble silk pants are very special...

vete- i love the gold sweater...
i always associate gold with dries...esp since that golden runway anniversary show...


thanks for the info lucky and laika...
lucky...you aren't a big fan of this collection are you?
i remember when we first saw it you didn't love it...
just wondering...
any change of heart since seeing some of it in person?

softgrey, I wish I was more moved by it. Its' such an oxymoron that its not my thing because I love "trippy" patterns but I don't think I would wear most of the brighter, bolder pieces, maybe because its all over pattern not accents. yet, what Ann Demeulmeester did with all over roses is astounding.

the fabrics were impeccable, as always, consistently Dries. I think the sweaters are going to be the sweet spot. What would be great is if you could go to Barneys and get a look at the entire collection to see how it pulls apart and goes together...I wish he did some socks or tights in the marbled pattern, that would be fun.

I thought I would post these shoes here since they are so pretty and gimmeshoes has them in stock already.

Nordstrom ordered a waistcoat with a zip front in the bright marbled pattern that was cute.

that doesnt look familiar to me from this year...if it is this season, where can I get those skirt pants? maybe Butter? Eva usually leans towards less runway and more understated styles like those shoes.

or email Dries and request the retailer who bought them?

I'm reviving this sleepy thread!

For those on a budget and still craving for last winter's collection, Yoox has a nice selection of DVN.

I ordered this jacket, that was only available in a size S though, I hope it'll fit.

aby, that is a beautiful jacket. I didnt realize the back was so special when I first saw it. I'm sure the small will fit you...it's so such an aby jacket. you always find the best things.

 

[Aby]

That's so nice, thanks Lucky! Coming from a Dries connaisseur I really appreciate the compliments!

Did you get anything from Dries this season?

I was at the store yesterday but nothing really enthraled me. But, I can't wait for spring summer!

I hate it when that happens....

Please don't purchase them, they remind me of when YSL was too broken to design a proper collection and just threw some Saint Laurent caricature on the runway.

what do you mean?

don't purchase dries bags? or items from the current collection?

to tell the truth it's my fault

 

[softgrey]

to tell the truth it's my fault

that's all right my darling..
it was an easy mistake to make...
DIES...DRIES...so close!..



in any case...
i LOVE my molinari shoes....!...
...

who need dries when you can be the only one with the perfect pair of molinari shoes!!...
the dries shoes are too common now anyway...


but no one has dries bags..
i would def recommend a bag...
mine is gorge..
my friend tossed all her MJ bags ( and even her chanel) and uses hers everyday...and my other friend swears it is the best made bag she has ever had....
she even puts her computer in it!...

get the bag!...
