Famed for his irreverent use of color and print, Dries Van Noten invigorates the classic Hawaiian shirt style with the Carltone Patch Shirt in Black, featuring floral, stripe, and big-cat prints found throughout his SS23 collection, a camp collar, side slits, and a relaxed, boxy silhouette.
Born in Antwerp in 1958, Dries Van Noten is the third generation in a family of tailors. Between the two world wars, his grandfather reworked second-hand clothes by turning them inside out and introduced Antwerp to the concept of ready-to-wear. In 1976, at the age of 18, he entered the fashion design course of Antwerp’s Royal Academy. While continuing his studies, Van Noten began to work as a freelance designer for commercial collections for a Belgian manufacturer. This practical experience would prove invaluable when he started to produce and retail his own designs. Dries now sells Men’s, Women’s and Accessories collections worldwide.
