LONDON — Dries Van Noten has joined forces with Yoox Net-a-porter on an exclusive summer capsule that will make its debut online on Monday.
The collection is inspired by what the world has been missing during lockdown, according to the designer, including “dream-like summer days, travel and escapism.” Those ideas translated into laid-back shorts, loose shirts and oversized outerwear in the Belgian designer’s signature dreamy color palette and psychedelic prints.
He plans to elaborate on the lessons he believes the industry needs to take on board, as well as his own plans for the new decade, in Net-a-porter’s digital publication, Porter, which will publish an interview in its May issue to mark the launch of the exclusive collection.
