The Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2016 collection was a confrabulation of the 70’s with the 50’s, which admittedly did serve up some glamour which was quickly tarnished by the before-pants or up-cycled high-water mom jeans. Metallic embroidery, jewel tone fabrics, weird unflattering bras and boob pouches sewn into the garments, and textile prints characterized this collection, which did have a granny tone throughout. It was just strange, all of it together, granny trying to get her groove back an feeling as if she can mix Mr. Rodgers with Madonna and the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo all at once…someone please organize her pillbox, she’s gone a little off the rocker again…
