The Dries Van Noten collection for the Fall/Winter 2019 season is an effortless exhibition of timeless silhouettes that have been informed by contemporary elements. While the runway presentation of the capsule during Paris Fashion Week saw an abundance of timeless designs, the luxurious brand subtly tweaked the tailoring to motivate interest in audiences and critics.
From incredibly oversized suit combos that hint at broad-shouldered 80s silhouettes to neutral-colored cardigans that accentuate the waistline, the 2019 Dries Van Noten collection boldly channels the boundaries of traditional menswear tailoring.
While the Parisian debut of the capsule began with minimalist takes on traditional garments, the visual narrative expanded into the more experimental with the appearance "tie-dye ripples" that communicated a "borderline psychedelic [effect]."
