Dries Van Noten has been my favourite designer for as long as I can remember. His clothes speak of a timeless beauty, and evokes emotion in every piece, at least to me. I find his pieces to be effortless and beautiful, even in the simplest piece, be it the cut or the fabric, he shows such attention to detail, and favours gorgeous prints & fabrics (often ethnic), colours, and layerings. Stepping into his store in Paris transports you into an era gone-by, yet current, reflecting his designs. It is the most beautiful store I have ever set foot in, so gorgeous with clothes displayed in an old bookstore full of character. Dries Van Noten, how I love thee!

Thought I'd include a better picture of the dress, as mine didn't do it justice
