Jan Davidsz De Heem “Festoon with Flowers and Fruit” 1670 | Dries Van Noten SS14

Continuing the theme of dark florals as seen in his SS14 menswear collection, Dries Van Noten creates a lavish garden of romantic blooms for his women’s line. Bursting florals, reminiscent of the Dutch Masters, tumble out of bouquets and cascade over sumptuous fabrics creating a moody and sophisticated statement. Meanwhile, Van Noten uses intricate beadwork and brilliant gold textiles to recall the splendors of the Silk Route. See more of his collection here.
