Pieter Bruegel | Oscar Wilde | Isaac Abrams

AW12 Dries Van Noten

What do you get when you add one part Dutch painter, Pieter Bruegel, a touch of Oscar Wilde’s Victoriana and a dash of psychedelia a la Frank Zappa? The AW12 menswear collection from Dries Van Noten of course! Although these references seem miles apart, Van Noten successfully mixed them in tasteful combinations for an utterly delightful collection. The somewhat wild scenic prints appear right at home thanks to the classic tailoring and sophisticated cuts of the apparel. Start dusting off your tea set for next winter.
