DRIES VAN NOTEN

Sukezane“Verner Panton, a furniture and interior designer who defined the 20th century. As someone who has long admired his work, I couldn’t help but exclaim ‘Yes!’ in my heart the moment the collaboration items appeared as the first look in the Dries Van Noten show.

Whether it's the shorts I wore on the top page of January's feature or the aforementioned coat, the graphical patterns are exceptionally cool. This jersey set-up, from the choice and placement of the pattern to the subtle fading of the print's color palette, is nothing short of masterful.

What truly elevates it is the subtle inclusion of Panton's handwritten signature on the collaboration item's tag. I find these witty collaborations truly delightful.”
