Fashion's Favorite Gardener Gets His Flowers

Dries Van Noten used to be one of those “you ain’t up on this” designers as recently as five years ago. One of the members of the highly influential Antwerp Six—a group of Belgian designers who would fundamentally change the face of European fashion—Dries Van Noten is arguably the biggest success story, still designing his eponymous label to this very day, even though the brand was acquired by Puig in 2018.
