Dries Van Noten Career

Career

Before launching a menswear collection in 1986, Van Noten freelanced for a number of local designers. As part of The Antwerp Six collective, he unveiled his first menswear collection in London that year. Barneys New York had a small order made. Louis, Boston, was one of the first to bring Dries to the United States, amassing his collection and selling it in Boston. He has four collections a year (both for summer and winter).

"One of fashion's most cerebral designers" in 2005, The New York Times referred to him as "one of fashion's most cerebral designers." His style is described as "eccentric" and died out of favor during the early 1990s' minimalistic style, only to see a revival in the mid-2000s, culminating in Van Noten's winning of the International Award of Fashion Designers of America in 2008.

Cate Blanchett, a child of Van Noten, was dressed for the Academy Awards in 2008 and has continued to dress her for subsequent red carpet functions since then. Queen Mathilde of Belgium and actress Maggie Gyllenhaal are among the numerous clients who have benefited from the service. One of his items, identified eponymously as the Dries van Noten suit, was included in the third episode of television show Killing Eve in 2018.

Van Noten said in a recent interview, "I'm a little naive, but I don't like the prospect of showing things that don't sell in a shop." His work is said to be characterized by the use of prints, colors, original fabrics, and layering. He does not promote.

Van Noten's brand has shops throughout the world. "Het Modepaleis" was the first thing to open in Antwerp in 1989. Store openings in Hong Kong and Tokyo were followed by several others. A store in Paris was opened in early 2007, decorated with antiques owned by Van Noten and his partner Patrick Vangheluwe, which was followed by a Singapore store ten months later. The brand is reported to be carried in some 400 fashion stores around the world.

Despite the fact that the brand is a private business, not much is known about its financial affairs, although it claims to have annual revenues of 30 million euros. Puig, a family-owned Spanish fragrance and fashion company, bought it in 2018; van Noten himself remains a minority owner.

Queen Letizia of Spain combines monochrome number and strappy heels in a bold shade of monochrome and strappy heels as she is welcomed by King Felipe to open a building in Barcelona

Queen Letizia of Spain wore an embroidered Dries Van Noten black suit as she and her husband King Felipe opened a building in Barcelona today. The royal, 51, opted for a double breasted jacket with padded shoulders and cigarette trousers, which she paired with Carolina Herrerea slingbacks that popped with a red heart. The Spanish royal, who is renowned for her style, went for oversized gold earrings, also from Carolina Herrerea, and a Carolina Herrerea bag, as she approached the Puig Company's second tower.

Forget the frumpy silhouette, it's warmth that counts when the royals are out and about - which is why they've given their seal of approval to the humble padded jacket, writes ELIZA SCARBOROUGH

The royals wear this cold-weather staple in a variety of styles, both function and fashion. Any may bemoaning the classic padded jacket's frumpy silhouette, but the royals have given it the seal of approval. As Princess Charlene told us in Burberry just a few days ago at a charity football match, it can be worn long. Or, it can be adorned with crystals from Blumarine for Princess Madeleine. Or it can be bold and vibrant like Princess Kate's red jacket from Perfect Moment.
