I don't remember if I've ever posted anything about Dries and his collections in the past. If I haven't, it's a testament to his ability to be understated while being a driving force in fashion today. He's one of the Antwerp Six and has been creating collections under his namesake brand for almost 25 years now. For fall 2010, Dries decided to pair his wonderful worldy take on fashion with the military. The outcome was dreamy. The jackets were all nipped in the waist, while creating a peplum effect that accentuated the hips. The trousers had an ease to them, which is refreshing to see in a world littered with tights. Dries always does a wonderful job with exotic embellishment and creating the illusion of print with this technique, but there was also an unexpected shot of printed fabrics this season. My absolute favorite looks in the collection were the sweatshirts paired with the chiffon skirts that appeared several times throughout. There was definitely an fusion of Old World elegance with New World ease that made this collection special. It was another knockout for Dries!
