Today, Dries Van Noten will be honored with the 2009 Award for Artistry in Fashion by The Couture Council of The Museum at The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). I am thrilled to have been invited to cover the luncheon at Cipriani 42nd Street. I will also be attending a Q&A with the designer tomorrow morning at FIT.


“Dries Van Noten creates clothes of extraordinary beauty and originality,” says Dr. Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT. “His sense of color, print and decoration are unequaled. Dries’ clothes are not for one season. Like works of art, they continue to speak to us across time and space. He has created a unique personal signature, but at the same time, he facilitates the wearer’s individual sense of style.”


Simon Doonan will emcee and attending members of the Artistic Committe will include Glenda Bailey, Hamish Bowles, Nina Garcia, Daphne Guinness, Iman, Carson Kresley, Ralph Rucci, Andre Leon Talley, Isabel and Ruben Toledo and Diane von Furstenberg.
