Dries Van Noten Retrospective

Liz Nehdi

I was recently able to hop on the Eurostar for a quick trip to Paris. Yes, I sound like a horrible cliché, but I absolutely love that city. The tree-lined streets, the chic locals, the iconic monuments, the croissants, the wine…what’s not to love? Ok, there are a few things, but I’ll spare you the negativity.

Top on my list for my visit was a trip to Les Arts Decoratifs for the Dries Van Noten exhibit that I had been dying to see for months. Luckily I caught it just before it closed. I took loads of photos and am excited to share them with you here!

Dries Van Noten is a master of colour and print and has been one of my favourite designers for a while now. The best part of this exhibit is that it was a three-dimensional moodboard of sorts. His eclectic inspirations – from paintings by John Singer Sargent and Damien Hirst – to ancient Chinese robes – were on display alongside his incredible designs.

The themes of his collections over the years have ranged from butterflies, representing the ephemerality of youth to the graphic and reduced palette of optical illusions to the transformation of camouflage from something that obscures and hides to something that highlights and adorns.

Here are some of my favourite vignettes from the exhibit, along with some context around the designs and inspiration.

Butterflies

Butterflies bring to mind colour and weightlessness, but also symbolise an oscillation between beauty and cruelty and the ephemerality of youth. The opposing forces of strength and fragility + freedom and rebellion are embodied in the butterfly

Optical Illusions

The nonchalance of 1960’s Paris and the sensuality of Serge Gainsbourg’s music are brought to mind by the graphic, reduced palette.

The Duke

The Duke and Duchess of Windsor provide a point of inspiration for this collection that references nobility and the subversion of British tradition. The boundaries of a masculine wardrobe are questioned.

Garden Camouflage (click on the arrow on the right hand side to see all images in the gallery)

Camouflage sheds its military connotations and becomes something lush and decorative. Texture, shadow and materials take centre stage in this homage to verdant nature. Camouflage is no longer used to hide, but instead to adorn and highlight.

Orientalism (click on the arrow on the right hand side to see all images in the gallery)

This is a land of nostalgic dreams – one of porcelain, postcards from a faraway land, rice paper and travel artefacts. Visually, this is one of my favourites, but it’s a loaded topic and one I will revisit on the blog at a later date.

Additional images from the exhibit (click on the arrow on the right hand side to see all images in the gallery)

And here are a smattering of other images from the exhibit, from collections around themes such as Jane Campion’s movie The Piano and Folklore.

If you’ve enjoyed this post, you may also want to check out the collage I put together of images from his Autumn/Winter 2014 collection.

I’m interested to know what your favourite theme is from this exhibit? Based on the number of photos I took, it’s a toss up between Garden Camouflage and Orientalism for me.

Vintage Summer Collage by Liz Nehdi. Image credits below

If you know me, you already know that summer is my favourite season by a long shot. Give me a beach, some sun and a breeze and I’m a happy lady.

In honour of the first day of July, here’s a beachy collage with a vintage vibe.

Image credits, along with larger individual images, are below.

I hope you’re headed someplace beachy and warm soon if you’re not there already!
