New Zealand artist Len Lye and his style of experimental and psychedelic films also served as further inspiration. The result is a Dries Van Noten SS21 women’s and men’s collection presented at Paris Fashion Week which ticked off both boxes. What you find are architectural silhouettes splashed with bold color and sunbursts, to fluid geometries which appear to be cast onto the fabrics. Cotton is the main fabric – crisp, clean and versatile, along with beautiful touches of organza manipulated into dimensional forms.
