Dries Van Noten SLIPPERS & LOAFERS

A member of the Antwerp Six collective, Dries Van Noten established his namesake label in 1986—debuting what would become a globally renowned vision of ready-to-wear. The Belgian designer, who is the third generation to tailor in his family, is known for his immaculate craftsmanship and his dynamic yet balanced approach to design. Familiar menswear silhouettes are elevated by subtly rendered graphic elements, like dark florals and geometric motifs, alongside well-placed drapes and folds that pay homage to its groundings in avant-garde couture. Balancing luxuriousness and a pragmatic concern with integrity, Dries Van Noten continues to redefine the elements of high-fashion menswear.
