Dries Van Noten Fashion Shows

Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2013 Paris Fashion Week
Not that creative. Technically a classic straight runway but this runway has columns in the middle which is creating that "U" shape runway. White columns and a white runway. Nothing in the back of the runway which kind of leaves this runway plain. Looks like the fashion show is held in a warehouse. Line presents sequence, skirts, blouses, sheer tops and bottoms, plaid, dresses, blazers, floral print, over size sweaters, layering, vests, work-wear, print mixing. Color consist plum purple, silver, navy, black, blue, yellows, pastels, greens and grays. Looking at the collection, you definitely get that spring vibe and a lot of these pieces I would wear. Some of the outfits are questionable but overall a good collection. I would give this a 5/10.

Dries Van Noten Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show
Average. Classic straight runway but with a twist with diagonal lines in the runway. Definitely looks like a To the back of the runway, there is false columns with curtains. The models walk through the curtains and thus the show begins. Line presents trench coats, dresses, floral print, feathering, layering, sequence, sheer, fringe, skirts, stripes, Color consist black, white, beige, pink, brown, reds, gray and navy. A mixture of femininity and masculinity. With this clip, you get to hear Dries Van Noten talk about his collection as well as see the collection. I admire the masculinity and femininity in his collection but still question some of the outfits. The feathers on the waist can seem unflattering on any body type. no women wants her hips to seem bigger or to make it look like she has a pouch. It is an unexpected collection. I would give this a 7/10

Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2014 Paris Fashion Week
Average. Concert/Fashion Show! what a what a way to combine them. Fence towards the back of the runway with street like setting for the runway. Line presents dresses, pleated skirt, sheer tops, sequence, layering, over size coats, ruffles, shorts, tank tops, work-wear, patterns, blouses, lace, feathers, floral prints, stripes, burnouts, pencil skirts, sleeveless tops, and pea coats. Color consist white, black, gold, beige, browns, grays, and maroon. Most of the ruffle placements added appeal to the outfit but some was a miss. Definitely creative and wearable. I would give this a 8/10

Dries Van Noten Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show
Average. Classic straight runway with diagonal lines on the runway. Looks of wood mixed with a different tile.  Resembles 2013 Fall fashion show runway. Line presents a play on lines, dresses, asymmetry, floral print, color blocking, oversize floral pieces, patterns, waist coat, hand painted, sport jacket, ruffle skirt, metallic, sequence, furs, trench coat. Color consist black, purple, gray, reds, yellow, white, blue, silver, and pink. Different sense of proportion and a great use of time periods. Dries Van Noten is known for his work of art so it was great to see his contrasting designs. A sense of spring against fall. I would give this a 8/10.

Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Show.
Creative. Classic straight runway but with a twist. Looks like patches of grass/moss on the runway as if the model is walking outside. Line presents sheer tops and bottoms, dresses, mix patterns, skirts, rainbow pieces, sequence, sleeveless blazer, stripes, ruffles, and fringe. Color consist browns, shades of blue, beige, reds, grays, pinks, maroon, black and yellows. Earth tones with a hint of spring colors. Love how the collection seems effortless. Sensing a little hippie theme in the clothes. Looking forward to see what will be out in 2015. I would give this a 9/10
