Dries Van Noten

The Dries Van Noten design studio presented Spring/Summer 2025 womenswear on 25 September 2024, after the founder’s departure and before a successor had been announced. Muddy jewel tones, metallic surface and layered transparency maintained recognisable house materials without assigning the collection to a single designer.

The collection is structurally important as the first public test of collective authorship at a label long organised around its founder. Its value lies in the transition it records rather than in a claim to a new permanent era.
