Dries Van Noten Spring 2013

Hello visitors,

I haven't posted in a VERY long time.  I'm going to get better about this though, promise!

So - the Spring 2013 menswear season has come to a wrap.  This was one of the most exciting seasons in menswear that I've ever witnessed.  So much color!  So much pattern!  So much focus on silhouette and proportion!  It was the equivalent of a mens couture fashion week.  I'm going to point out some of my favorite collections of the season throughout the week.

Of course, I decided to start with Dries.  He's gotten into such a rhythm with his menswear.  His proportions are so recognizable now.  There's always a streetwise flair to his collections, but also an attention to detail that is such an inherent quality in his clothes.  I can tell that I'm looking at a rack of Dries clothing from a mile away!  This collection was amazing.  It was true sportswear with a twist.  I don't think anyone has made camo look so good!.....well Valentino was spectacular as well.......but you can tell that the camo trend (that many put into Nick Wooster's hands) is not going anywhere!
