Sudden news involving Dries Van Noten, who decided to leave the creative direction of the eponymous brand created in the 1980s. 

The last show he will be involved with in the role of creative direction will be in June for the men SS 2025 collection, the women's collection, on the other hand, will be followed later by his team, of which he says he is "fully confident". 

It is the end of an era, and the beginning of a new one, but the designer confides that he has been preparing for this moment for a while now, and that he feels ready to make way for the new generation, certain that they will follow his line and his unmistakable style. 

The name of the new designer will be announced in due course, but while leaving the role at the top, the Belgian designer announces that he will still remain involved in the brand's dynamics and decisions. 

"When I was young, my dream was to have a voice in fashion. That dream has come true, now I am ready to shift the focus to all those things I never had time to devote myself to."
