RUNWAY: Dries Van Noten SS18

How does Dries Van Noten, noted Belgian designer known for his intricate patterns and thought provoking collections, take on the banality of office-wear? The designer's latest collection attempted to fill the blank void that men have to traverse when they go to work in corporate environments. With Silicon Valley normalizing hoodies, jeans and sneakers as acceptable office-wear, the rest of the corporate world is slowly coming around. Here, Van Noten offered up oversized shirts, short shorts with wide and boxy jackets and embroidered shirts. The final looks were, unsurprisingly, the strong pieces, hitting on Van Noten's strong points: a mix of patterns harmoniously co-existing to create supremely chic looks.
