I Don’t Get It, Dries
![]() |
The Spring/Summer 2010 Dries Van Noten collection was inspiring, but there is one thing I don’t understand.
The way Dries always seems to turn printed fabrics with headache-inducing potential into beyond chic pieces of clothing without loosing one bit of “wow” factor, makes me adore him. Like a good student of fashion, if I don’t know/understand something I have to ask the tough questions.
Therefore, Dries, though I am practically in love with this collection, what is up with the one-armed blazer look?
From the apparent arm straps, I am assuming there is actually another half to the look. Why send models down the runway looking like I do while struggling to juggle putting on my jacket, carry my over-stuffed bag, and text friends simultaneously?
In no way does this a-symmetry change my feelings for the collection. I’m just confused, and I hate being confused.
Any thoughts on the half-jacket?
