Editor's Pick: Dries Van Noten (DVN) was founded in 1986 by Belgian designer Dries Van Noten, one of the "Antwerp Six." Born into a family of tailors with three generations in the textile industry, this background established his relentless pursuit of fabric excellence and craftsmanship. Based in Antwerp, the brand refuses to follow mainstream fashion trends, rising with a low-key independent stance—no advertising, no haute couture, focusing instead on balancing wearability and artistry. As the designer says: "Business is good enough for us to live well, but we maintain a scale that allows us to enjoy what we do."
DVN's core aesthetic revolves around folklore and nostalgia, incorporating exotic elements such as Eastern embroidery, totems, and Middle Eastern patterns, creating a poetic world through bold color combinations and layered styling. DVN excels at mixing contrasting materials—silk with tweed, mohair with denim, lace with leather—and extensively employs hand embroidery, beading, and jacquard techniques in designs. This approach embodies the philosophy of "tenderness and hardness coexisting."
In sustainable practices, Dries demonstrates a pioneering attitude. He avoids traditional large manufacturers, instead collaborating with Indian artisan villages to develop organic cotton and transforming century-old embroidery techniques into modern design language. His fragrance collections use FSC-certified recycled paper packaging with bottles made from 100% recyclable materials, achieving a "soil to soil" closed loop. This reverence for craftsmanship and commitment to environmental protection makes his clothing a cultural bridge connecting past and future.
At the 2025 Quality Gala, actor Zhang Ruoyun wore the world's first East Asian exclusive suit, featuring 50 hours of hand embroidery that combined the Forbidden City's swastika pattern with Belgian abstract florals. The inner lining secretly featured micro-carved quotes from "Joy of Life." Western media described it as a "mobile advertisement for Chinese aesthetics." The brand subsequently launched a "Joy of Life Inspiration Zone," pioneering a new model for celebrity endorsements and cultural exports.
