I do love what Dries van Noten does, but I know he's got a huge palette of prints to choose from and his mixes more fortuitous than this. A tall, young woman with real presence could pull this off, but I'm quite sure I'd disappear inside the cacophony! It's fun to play though -- and I can see that I might like playing these prints off one another if the dress were a skirt. might, I said . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-67388323934672072702009-03-04T04:38:00.000-08:002009-03-04T04:38:00.000-08:00Awesome, especially the latter.

If you wear it you will officially join the ranks of the stylish arty farty crowd. <BR/>For more confidence/ideas check out some of the past Dries van Noten shows.
