“Freud’s great unanswered question, ‘What does a woman want?’ seems to be hanging over this round of collections, and it’s already turned up some funny, off-beam stabbings around in the dark. Funny, that is, because isn’t it obvious? What we want is a casual way of dressing that’s also formal enough, new yet not ridiculously gimmicky, confident yet not egregiously aggressive, traditional in a comfortable way, yet also fresh in such a manner that we feel compelled to buy it. Well, let’s hand it to Dries Van Noten for coming up with a personal squaring of all those apparently oh-so-difficult contradictions.” -Sarah Mower, in her review of the collection.
