BRAND OF THE MONTH

DRIES VAN NOTEN WHAT IS IT?

Part of the renowned ‘Antwerp Six’ collective, Dries Van Noten is an independent brand named for the eponymous Belgian designer who made waves on the London fashion scene in the 1980s and went onto huge success. WHERE DO YOU GET IT?

The designer is stocked exclusively in Edinburgh at Jane Davidson on Thistle Street. WHY WE RATE IT...

A master of colour, fabric, and cut, Noten’s AW21 collection is all about relaxed glamour. From flowing silk and sequinned skirts to slouchy sweaters in glittering metallics, everything is super sexy but infinitely wearable.
