“Leave it to Dries Van Noten to hire a team that can design a strong collection without him. As someone who despises interim collections, I wouldn’t be mad if they just continued like this for the next few years.” [LadyJunon]

“It’s better than his last womenswear collection. Sorry not sorry.” [helmutnotdead]

“I clearly like his new team more than him because I love everything about this. The silhouettes and proportions are so beautiful. But the PRINTS is what gives it that urban edge.” [GoldenPetals]
