Dries Van Noten, which presented its women’s collection yesterday, also opened its first men’s only store at 9 Quai Malaquais, a few feet away from its women’s boutique.
The brand’s 1,076 square foot shop’s interior reflects the seventies rust colored look, while furniture and design objects from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, adds to the rich vintage feel.
The evening collection of guys, Line 9, which was sold exclusively at the Paris store, features tuxedo jackets and trousers, silky tops and bottoms and a velvet dinner jacket. In addition to that a small accessories collection in a similar tone is also on sale.
Dries Van Noten now counts a total of four freestanding units: in Antwerp, Belgium; Tokyo, and Paris, which has two locations.
