The Dries Van Noten Spring 2010 collection took a step in a different direction for the equinox. It seemed as if the line took a step backward, infusing the collection with [tribal prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominican-heritage) and Picasso-esque creations that were [artistically mashed together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse). The Dries Van Noten Spring 2010 collection is a solid line full of decorative clothing that the Van Noten customer has come to know, love and has quite possibly been pining for since the designer's departure from the ordinary a year ago. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Tribal Prints:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate tribal prints into their collections, creating unique and culturally-inspired pieces. - **Picasso-esque Creations:** Potential for artists to explore Picasso's style and influence in their work, creating a fusion of art and fashion. - **Departure From the Ordinary:** An opportunity for designers to challenge traditional fashion norms and create innovative and unconventional clothing lines. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can capitalize on the trend by incorporating tribal prints and Picasso-esque creations into their collections. - **Art:** Artists can explore Picasso's style and influence, applying it to fashion and creating unique artistic creations. - **Retail:** Retailers can embrace the departure from the ordinary and offer customers innovative and unconventional clothing options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ethereal Juxtaposing Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystic-moss.md) - [Bold Suede Fashionable Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dries-van-noten-suede-sneaker.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md)
