Dries Van Noten 2013 Fall/Winter Collection

Belgian designer Dries Van Noten launched his Fall/Winter 2013 collection in Paris this week. Perhaps in direct opposition to various high-fashion designers, Van Noten highlights comfortable materials and fits for this current collection. Paisley and other rich patterns have been applied to blazers, trousers and slim-cut sweatpants to create an overwhelmingly luxurious effect. Within this casual, flighty theme is the idea of dreams, which has also been manifested in a dreamcatcher pattern repeating throughout. With bold and rich colors, such as maroon, mustard and deep navy, this collection for the new season is especially satisfying and impressive.
