Dear Shaded Viewers,

Dries Van Noten delivered a knockout show today, full of energy and creativity. A bohemian feeling pervaded the collection, from Persian rug prints and flirty chiffon to textured fabrics and chunky jewelry. The truth is that Van Noten can make the most daring associations convincing and believable. I loved his use of gold and snakeskin, as well as menswear inspired staples, which seemed to reference the 1970s. The mood was free, luxurious and very emancipated.
