The Dries Van Noten FW 2012 collection is smoothly psychedelic for the daring dude.
The collection boasts expert tailoring, communicating an attitude befitting of Frank Zappa. The models are clad with zany, surrealistic patterns and bold silhouettes. The printed pants are reminiscent of Salvador Dali canvases, with flames, pastel coloring and desert landscapes.
The more classic pieces showcase a modern twist in tailoring. Quad-pleated, high-waisted trousers, wide-legged pants and cropped straight-legged trousers tone down the eccentricity of the patterning while maintaining a wacky attitude. To add punch to the darker-hued outfits, models sport neon orange socks clashed with rust-colored loafers. Memorable pieces include an over-sized fuzzy green turtle neck and a mullet-cut mesh sweater.
The Dries Van Noten FW 2012 collection is better than any hallucination.
