On the occasion of Pitti Immagine Uomo 99 on PittiConnect and curated by Polimoda, the newest episode of Polimoda Duets, a series of documentary interview videos involving some of the most outstanding cultural figures of our time, features Fashion Designer Dries Van Noten. Dries Van Noten is the son and grandson of tailors. Growing up in a family that worked in fashion, he learned the commercial and technical side of the industry at a very young age before devoting himself to design. In 1983, Dries Van Noten launched his own collection. With a rented van and a few of his fellow graduates from the Royal Academy of Antwerp, he left for London Fashion Week. This was the beginning of his defined intellectual aesthetic, putting him on the international scene. One of the most successful members of the renowned Antwerp Six, Van Noten opened his first boutique in Paris in 2007, followed by one in Tokyo and many others. Today, Van Noten has six independent stores and his collection is sold all over the world.
