Dries Van Noten

Dries Van Noten is dedicated to slowing down the fashion industry and retains its full runway archive, selling archival items from the ‘90s, 2000s, the 2010s along with pre-worn pieces, limiting the waste created by the brand. He also has written an open letter cosigned by other industry people to normalize the retail calendar and synchronize the fashion seasons with those of the year. He believes it is "not normal to buy winter clothes in May. And it’s not respectful to the customer who buys at full price to see it marked down 50 percent six weeks later"

Dries Van Noten garments that have a “lived in” feel and are manufactured to last multiple seasons due to their exceptional quality and timeless designs

Dries Van Noten pieces are Inspired by novel craft technologies and ancient traditions and are made through collaboration with master craftspeople in India
