Dries Van Noten. I'd like to list more but the truth of the matter is, I've sold off my entire wardrobe and wear just him exclusively. It's very sickening and reminds me of articles I read where Japanese fashion lovers build virtual shrines to their favourites in their apartments. But I just can't help myself. That being said, I do have a Junya Watanabe CdG + Moncler down jacket coming my way...but that's just a splurge.
