If you haven't yet seen the astounding Dries van Noten ' Inspiration' Exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in Paris, try to catch it before it closes in November 2014.
Dries has always stood a little apart from the fashion pack, and this show is a spectacular look at his designs over the years – including his costumes for the film The Piano. The displays showcase not only his superb creations but also his inspirations – ranging from Cecil Beaton to Schiaparelli and spring gardens.
If you can't make it to Paris, there is also a wonderful book available called simply Dries van Noten. (Publisher: Lannoo) It delves a little deeper into the designer's life and style, and includes many images of his now-famous house and garden – just as beautiful as the designs he puts onto the catwalk. Horticulture and haute couture have always made stunning partners but in Dries' hands, they really are elevated to another level of exquisite sophistication.
