How To Recreate The Dries Van Noten Look

Dries Van Noten’s latest runway has put dressed-up eclecticism back on the fashion agenda – think rich colour, clashing patterns, intricate textures and artful layering, with jacquard florals and paisley adding to the mix.

the BRAND

Since launching its first womenswear collection in 1993, Dries Van Noten has built a reputation for creating clothes that feel both considered and completely unexpected. Where some luxury houses lean heavily on logos and instantly recognisable signatures, Dries has done things differently – think rich colour combinations, intricate prints, unexpected fabric pairings and tailoring that never feels quite as traditional as it first appears. It’s this distinctive mix that has earned the Belgian house a devoted following among fashion insiders, with its womenswear offering continuing to feel particularly relevant today. Its SS25 collection, for example, revisited elements of the brand’s late-90s archive, combining jewel tones, floral patterns and Eastern-inspired details with more contemporary touches.

the AESTHETIC

Florals are anything but predictable at Dries Van Noten. Woven into intricate jacquards rather than simply printed onto fabric, blooms take on a richer, almost three-dimensional quality – appearing across tailored jackets, flowing trousers and statement separates.

the LOOK

The good news is you don’t need to invest in the real thing to tap into the Dries Van Noten aesthetic. Simply look for jacquard or textured floral pieces on the high street – a statement jacket can instantly elevate jeans, while a floral skirt works just as well with a simple knit or crisp white shirt. If head-to-toe pattern feels like too much, accessories are an easy place to start, with a printed bag, shoe or scarf adding a touch of Dries-inspired character without taking over your wardrobe.
