- “I love to learn from things I can’t appreciate.” His recent summer collection was called a ‘revolution’ in fashion and the women’s coats he just showed in Paris for the upcoming winter season 2009/10 were celebrated as ‘sartorial symbols of this recession’s sudden shift in aesthetics.’ But Dries van Noten doesn’t believe in such impulsive movements; he just goes on changing ‘how we look at fashion and the world in general’. If you ask the designer who turned 50 last year what is different in fashion now compared to when he started his eponymous brand in 1985, he says: ‘Everything has changed, in step with the world.’ The conversation with Dries van Noten took place in a setting reminiscent of an old Flemish still life painting: at a very long table prepared for lunch in the company’s renovated warehouse in Antwerp, in the historic part of the harbour once built by Napoleon.
