Dries Van Noten, a Belgian designer from a family of tailors, launched his label in 1986.
As part of the Antwerp Six, he gained fame for collections inspired by art, culture, and nature.
His clothes are known for bold prints, rich layering, and understated elegance without advertising.
He sold a majority stake to Puig in 2018 but stayed on as creative director until 2024.
Even after his final Paris show, his vision lives on through the brand’s beauty line and legacy.
