“The beauty of the world is the mouth of a labyrinth. The unwary individual who on entering takes a few steps is soon unable to find the opening. Worn out, with nothing to eat or drink, in the dark, separated from his dear ones, and from everything he loves and is accustomed to, he walks on without knowing anything or hoping anything, incapable even of discovering whether he is really going forward or merely turning round on the same spot. But this affliction is as nothing compared with the danger threatening him. For if he does not lose courage, if he goes on walking, it is absolutely certain that he will finally arrive at the center of the labyrinth. And there God is waiting to eat him. Later he will go out again, but he will be changed, he will have become different, after being eaten and digested by God. Afterward he will stay near the entrance so that he can gently push all those who come near into the opening.” - Simone Weil “The beauty of the world is the mouth of a labyrinth.

DRIES VAN NOTEN EMBELLISHED BOMBER JACKET

Dries Van Noten, one of the most successful members of the renowned Antwerp Six, started his own collection in 1986. His intellectual aesthetic first took the international fashion scene by storm when he and other graduates of Antwerp’s Royal Academy rented a truck and set up shop at London Fashion Week in 1986 after gathering experience freelancing as a consultant designer and working as a commercial designer for other companies. Since then, he has maintained his independent spirit, and has been maintaining the creative integrity of his design process and aesthetic. Dries van Noten offers a decorative take on the bomber jacket with a color-blocked fabrication and detailed embroidery inspired by untrained outsider art.
