The Belgian designer, who is 66, first announced his retirement back in March. With his exit, Van Noten leaves a career that’s nothing short of miraculous.
Dries Van Noten shocked the fashion industry in March 2024 when he announced that his upcoming menswear show would be his last. “My dream was to have a voice in fashion. That dream came true,” the Belgian designer wrote in a letter to editors at the time. The curtain was closing on one of fashion’s most exciting and enduring talents at a time when few names are able to stand as firm in their convictions and taste as van Noten has.
As many things go in Van Noten’s universe, the decision to forgo independence for once was all part of an understated and premeditated plan to make sure his line would have an enduring legacy and future without him.Getty Images A look from Dries Van Noten's Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show at the Babcock factory in La Courneuve as part of Paris Fashion Week.In an industry constantly preoccupied with youth and innovation, retirement is a dirty word.
