Style needs

What more can I say about Dries Van Noten? His clothes are impeccably made of luxurious and unique fabrics and the cut is razor sharp. Dries is an incredibly influential designer, who particularly in these more cautious times, creates clothes we can't live without.

For Fall/Winter '09 Dries Van Noten explores English sartorial style, producing enduring classics that will dominate your wardrobe for years. This navy blue and black jacquard pea coat is a perfect example. The cropped, fitted silhouette references classic U. S. Navy pea coats, albeit in an incredibly modern herringbone fabric with a slick, glamorous sheen. The perfect winter coat. No gold buttons, no epaulets, just a perfect coat that will never go out of style.
