Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 Pt 1: Dries Van Noten


Dries Van Noten

What a start to Paris Fashion Week SS'11, with Dries Van Noten doing the honours with a gorgeous collection inspired by Jef Verheyen (Belgian painter) and Chinese ceramics. This collection had an effortless relaxed ease to it, hinting that we should raid our boyfriend's/husband's wardrobe with plenty of oversized shirts, blazers and jackets. My favourite oversized outfit was the plain cotton shirt, extended to dress length, worn with a skirt coated with iridescent pailettes. I believe the oversized blazers and jackets will only suit those tall in stature and/or slim figured, which sadly I am neither. Still, there were plenty more to love, including the beautiful silk dresses & blouses, relaxed-fit pants & blazers, ombre coats and jackets, and of course...beautiful embroidery:
