.DriesVanNoten drew on the aventurous film work of early 20th-century artist Len Ley to create a create a collection filled with energy and nostalgia-free beauty.
Beauty. God knows, the world needs it. But what expressions of beauty make sense for fraught times? For Dries Van Noten, the answer is clear. “It has to be beauty that gives energy, not the beauty that makes you think or dream or long for the past and things like that,” he said during a preview.
Perhaps so, but there’s nothing fuzzy about Van Noten’s perspective. His clothes pulse with a clarity grounded in his razor-sharp vision of chic reality, realized by his distinctive codes — color, print, embellishment, layerings — each element highly considered, no matter how casual the mood. For spring, Van Noten channeled those codes in a deliberately simplified manner. The results: an inviting lineup, filled with the energy and optimism the designer set out to capture.
And look great doing it. Van Noten started with a spare, somewhat strict approach. Bermuda shorts — a major theme — and a jacket herald the less-is-more construct in a collection that at its core is about a range of terrific wardrobe-building pieces.
