DRIES VAN NOTEN HAS MAINTAINED HIS INDEPENDENT SPIRIT THROUGH TO THE EYEWEAR COLLABORATION COLLECTION. DERIVING INSPIRATION FROM OUTSIDE THE FASHION LANDSCAPE, THE EYEWEAR COLLECTION ENGAGES ARTISTIC PRINT DISCIPLINES AND FUTURISTIC SHAPES AND FITS. HIS SIGNATURE IS OFTEN ‘PENNED’ WITH JOYOUS COLOUR AND VIBRANT PRINTS SEEMINGLY APPLIED AS IF WITH A PAINTBRUSH. “I WILL CONTINUE TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM OTHER CULTURES AND HISTORY, THEIR RITES AND TRADITIONS, BUT INCORPORATE THEM IN A CONTEMPORARY WAY” — DRIES VAN NOTEN
