RUNWAY: Dries Van Noten SS17

Belgian designer Dries Van Noten is a master at patterns and he continued that to his latest collection which seemed to embody the idiom: reduce, renew, recycle. The patterns he used seemed to be thrown together from older materials, like a floral pattern on your grandmother's couch remade into a coat or your old denim patched together to create a pair of boxy shorts. Though rather than seeming droll and old, the collection looked comfortable and welcoming, as if the clothes gives the wearer the sense of coming home: warm, safe and comforted.
