Dries Van Noten stunned the fashion world back in March, announcing his retirement and intent to step down as creative director of his eponymous fashion brand. The celebrated and revered Belgian designer presented his final collection during Menswear Paris Fashion Week in June, complete with a standing ovation from us here at theFashionSpot. The current Spring 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week just gave us our first glimpse at the Puig-owned fashion brand without Van Noten himself at the helm, with a collection designed by the studio in Antwerp. The result was boldly layered colors, fabrics, prints, and embroidery. A masterclass in sophistication and opulence. A stellar continuation of Van Noten’s work but with a new perspective.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Dries is in good hands. I liked the collection a lot, beautiful ephemeral vibes.” [Olaffo]
“The studio team should be proud. Love the colors, prints, textures and styling. They should just promote someone internally, who knows the language of Dries.” [j02215]
“Leave it to Dries Van Noten to hire a team that can design a strong collection without him. As someone who despises interim collections, I wouldn’t be mad if they just continued like this for the next few years.” [LadyJunon]
“It’s better than his last womenswear collection. Sorry not sorry.” [helmutnotdead]
“I clearly like his new team more than him because I love everything about this. The silhouettes and proportions are so beautiful. But the PRINTS is what gives it that urban edge.” [GoldenPetals]
“Great use of colors, beautiful prints, textures, elegant attitude, a bit of sensuality here, of mystery there. All the codes of the house are respected.” [IloveDiorHomme]
“What a great collection. I think they have managed to deliver a bold, confident, and grown collection.” [Lola701]
