Dries Van Noten

Founded in Antwerp in 1986 by Dries Van Noten, the brand has developed a unique language through colour, print, texture and a refined tailoring culture. Raised in a family of tailors and trained at Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Van Noten became known for unexpected combinations, embroidery, precious fabrics and sophisticated layering. In 2024, the founder stepped down from creative direction, which was entrusted in December of that year to Julian Klausner, already part of the studio since 2018. Klausner carries the Maison’s legacy forward by reinterpreting its codes through new techniques, materials and constructions. Dries Van Noten continues to unite craftsmanship and experimentation in an eclectic, cultured and contemporary wardrobe capable of surprising without sacrificing elegance or wearability.
