It was a mashup of feminine simplicity and masculine tailoring on the Dries Van Noten SS2011 catwalk yesterday in Paris. The show was a textile lover’s dream as the models floated down the runway in a mix of peachy and periwinkle silks, Asian-inspired cherry blossom prints, sheer dip-dyed fabrics layered over smart shirts and – mm – some particularly yummy-looking velvet.
The Belgian fashion house had all bases covered when it came to little dresses and separates; flowing high-waisted silk trousers and jumpsuits, sweet above-the-knee skirts, sharp little utilitarian shirts perfect for work and probably themost gorgeous black velvet trouser suit ever made. There was a clear oriental inspiration behind the collection that could be seen in the white silk kimono dress and sparkly kimono jacket, perfect for the evenings. With celebrities in LA like Cat Deeley and Nicole Richie already sporting vintage kimono jackets, I can predict these will be high in demand next year.
Dries Van Noten have got serious game this Fashion Week. Check the images below so that you can get coveting, just like us.
