Dries Van Noten: The Mind Has To Travel | MR PORTER

Dries Van Noten on travel, inspiration and escape — the Belgian designer takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey through his creative world for MR PORTER's Hosted By series. Few names sit at the apex of contemporary fashion quite like Dries Van Noten. For our Hosted By project, we travelled with him through a vivid imagined landscape — illustrated by filmmaker Alexis Jamet — to find out what fuels his thinking, where his ideas begin and where he goes when the world becomes too noisy. The result is part travelogue, part self-portrait of one of the most quietly influential designers working today. If you've followed the Antwerp Six story, this is a rare and intimate look at how Van Noten's mind moves between memory, place and pattern.
