“Unexpected elegance,” said Dries Van Noten backstage at his Fall 2014 show.

Vogue called it  “a study in controlled, wearer-friendly chic that played with the idea of mixing naturalistic forms with man-made geometry. “

It’s that point of view and the idea of understated chic that has all fashionistas drooling.

If you have never made it to a Dries Van Noten fashion shows or been lucky enough to wear his gorgeous clothes then calmez-vous!

You can now have your own sneak peak of the genius of Dries Van Noten in the divine new book Dries Van Noten: Inspirations.

It coincides with his exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

‘This is the very first exhibition devoted to the artist’s work. As Dries Van Noten takes us on an intimate journey into his artistic universe, he reveals the singularity of his creative process which he illustrates with his various and numerous sources of inspiration. This event is an eye opening experience, where Dries Van Noten’s men’s and women’s collections are put together with iconic pieces from the museum’s fashion and textile collection. The show also includes photographs and videos, film clips, musical references, as well as artworks by renowned artists, from public and private collections, that have triggered the designer’s imagination throughout his life and career.’

The exhibition runs through to August 31—which means you still have time to jet over to Paris.

Or now simply grab the divine book.
