Tribal Chic: Dries Van Noten for Summer 2010

While we're looking at the offerings for Fall 2010, it's important to remind ourselves that the spring and summer lines are coming onto the market. Once again, Dries Van Noten shows us his mastery of mixing prints. Last year, it was florals. This year, Van Noten brings us a caravan of ikats from Uzbekhistan, batiks from Bali, banarasi silk from India and chinoiserie from China. The attention to pieces like these is found in the details. To give you an idea of how much work goes into these, watch his video on embroidery of an earlier collection. In a wild explosion of color and texture, the collection is one that most will feel comfortable in, even well traveled. From saris to sarongs, this collection is simple but luxurious.
