PARIS, France — BoF brings you the top show from Wednesday 26th February.

Dries Van Noten Autumn/Winter 2014:
"It was a treat to see a fully mature designer like Dries Van Noten still having so much fun on the catwalk. Van Noten combined the softness of flowers with the dynamism of Op Art graphics. The result was a fashion hybrid that was able to be both risky and relatable." See full show.
