Dries Van Noten has been my favourite designer for as long as I can remember. His clothes speak of a timeless beauty, and evokes emotion in every piece, at least to me. I find his pieces to be effortless and beautiful, even in the simplest piece, be it the cut or the fabric, he shows such attention to detail, and favours gorgeous prints & fabrics (often ethnic), colours, and layerings. Stepping into his store in Paris transports you into an era gone-by, yet current, reflecting his designs. It is the most beautiful store I have ever set foot in, so gorgeous with clothes displayed in an old bookstore full of character. Dries Van Noten, how I love thee!

ReplyDeleteGreat outfits! I love your style!
ReplyDeletei love dries van noten, too !!!
ReplyDeletehis clothes are so poetic ...
you make me want to visit his boutique. i read he wanted it to look like home, not like a boutique.
Oh, you definitely should! It's just so gorgeous, it was truly surreal. It's a shame I couldn't (or didn't dare) take any pictures inside. If I lived in Paris, I would go in at least once a week :)

ReplyDeleteMuito obrigada Nayra! (que nome lindo!) Vejo que voce e uma estilista na Italia (Roma)? Se for, estou morrendo de inveja! Que tipo de curso/trabalho voce teve que fazer para ser uma estilista? Estou pensando (daydreaming) em fazer um curso ano que vem em 'Fashion Styling' e trocar de carreira (eu era uma advogada, agora fasso pesquisa medica, mas tenho uma paixao por moda).
ReplyDeletePS. Voce e Brasileira/Portuguesa ou Italiana? :)
Ola! Adoro o teu estilo. Bj de portugal
