Our beloved Dries van Noten was awarded the 2009 Couture Council Award for Artistry of Fashion by The Couture Council of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Praise from Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of The Museum at FIT: “Dries fits this time – he is special as you can wear his clothes for years and mix and match them. They’re not just for this season’s fashion victims.” If you haven’t read mono.kultur #20 on DvN yet – order your copy soon, it’s almost sold out.
