Dries Van Noten’s Final Summer Capsule
Say farewell to a legend with vibrant prints and bold designs.
As the sun sets on Dries Van Noten's fashion career, the designer is saying farewell with a stunning final Summer capsule collection in collaboration with Mytheresa. Marking the end of an era, this exclusive collection is a tribute to Van Noten's decades-long legacy of creativity and innovation in the fashion industry.
Van Noten's departure from his namesake house may signal the end of an era, but his impact is seen through every inch of this capsule collection. With 25 pieces drenched in color and print, the collection transports wearers to sun-soaked days by the sea. Geometric and floral motifs rendered in vibrant hues adorn boxy tops, pencil skirts, breezy dresses, and languid suits. A sense of wanderlust is evoked. It seems fitting for a goodbye.
The collaboration between Van Noten and Mytheresa is a testament to the enduring partnership between the designer and the e-commerce giant. Over the years, Mytheresa has been a steadfast supporter of Van Noten's vision, showcasing his mastery of prints and colorful fabrics to a global audience. As Michael Kliger, CEO of Mytheresa, aptly puts it, Van Noten is 'his own category,' blending bold design with meticulous craftsmanship.
For this final capsule, Van Noten drew inspiration from bicolor geometrical motifs, reinventing floral prints with a fresh perspective. From print design to meticulous placement techniques, every element speaks to the designer's unwavering commitment to excellence. It is exactly what you would expect from him - which is not a bad thing. Bold and bright, what a beautiful farewell it is.
As the collection pre-launches exclusively on Mytheresa and driesvannoten.com, accompanied by a dedicated editorial story directed by Mytheresa's chief creative officer Julian Paul, the fashion world eagerly awaits the grand finale of Van Noten's storied career in Paris. Yet, amidst the anticipation, there lingers a sense of nostalgia and gratitude for the designer who dared to challenge the norms of luxury fashion and leave a mark on the industry.
While the search for Van Noten's successor is underway, his departure marks a turning point for his brand. As he bids farewell to the runway, he leaves behind a rich legacy of ravishing colors, striking prints, and dignified dressing - a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of designers to come. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is leaving the fashion world in a better shape than what he found it in.
In the words of Dries Van Noten himself, ‘I have been preparing for this moment for a while, and I feel it’s time to leave room for a new generation of talents to bring their vision to the brand.’
