Belgian native designer Dries van Noten brought culture and ethnicity to the Paris Fashion Week runway. With an array of rich, vibrant, and sleek flowing fabrics, it was very clear that Mr. Van Noten went beyond the conventional to turn this collection into a reality. He revealed that one of the hand-woven fabrics he selected (Ikat) underwent a two day journey by donkey in order to make it to his Antwerp studio. Although ethnic inspired fashion has been done many times before, it was Mr. Van Noten’s unique mixture of his pieces that lead to his exito! Bravo!
