DRIES VAN NOTEN: PFW

Another post on #PFW.

I was doing some research on a few of the shows that have occured at PFW over the weekend, aswell as doing the daily trail of online magazine news, whilst I was scrawling through Interview homepage Dries Van Noten AW12 collection stood out from everything else.

At first glance it channels the Versace print thats literally everywhere, anywhere and on anything right this minute. However, with the DVN print, it's a hell of a lot more detailed, and mixes in geometric Bauhaus inspired blocks of colour. With sharp tailoring, soft silks, rich royal tones and green military parkas it's a juxta-position of everything that shouldn't work, but it actually does.

ITS UNIQUE YET WEARABLE.

My favourite of the bunch is the gold bird embroided trench. Paired with a white collar, its cleverly smart yet effortless. The interior of the location fits perfectly with the royal collection, luxury chandeliers and gold trimmings.

Eclectic Boudoir.

My bedroom is my favourite place on earth. It's where I keep my most treasured items, presents, gifts, things that hold memories and of course my beloved clothes and shoes. I often sit in my room for inspiration, as it is beaming with colour, sparkle, bright objects and beautiful patterns. I sometimes like to think I'm in Marrakech, with all the exotic jewel colours, golds and mirrors. 

All the things in my bedroom mean alot to me because they either hold a memory or i've took time and customised them myself, with beads, paints or just throwing a necklace across a mirror or a mannequin to make it unique to my personality and tastes.

I'd love a pure white room with no colour, but I think I would get bored easily, yes it would be tranquil, peaceful and relaxing, but with so much colour, vibrance and energy in the room, inspiration, new ideas and imagination is never far away!
