One of the many reasons I love Dries Van Noten is that he is always authentic. By this, I mean that he is true to his vision. This Belgian designer has created images of the world traveler for decades now. He always sources fabrics from incredibly diverse regions. He manages to create an effortless tailoring with these unique and authentic textiles. If he shows tweed, you can be sure it is from an old mill in Scotland. If he shows ikat, it will be from an indigenous weaver in India or Southeast Asia. This is ultimately what I feel authenticity is all about. This collection was full of the signature Dries that I love. These timeless pieces never follow trends and can work as an accent to a man's wardrobe, regardless of his age. Notice the return of the DB (double breasted jacket) in a shorter more modern variation. Modern Authentic Luxury at its best.

This is one of my favourite collections as well! I love the cardigans that wrap around (3rd pic). Cole Mohr wears a mustard coloured one...need to buy that! Love the simplicity and the prints. The shoes are also surprisingly interesting. The patent black shoes is actually like a sandals with a backstrap.
This is first time I am so in love with Dries!
