Dries Van Noten : Shape, Print and Fabric Paperback – May 31, 1999

Love the designers work, though this book is a little thin on photographic details for what I would like. It was worth the price.

I am a big fan of Dries Van Noten's clothes. Naturally I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. It gives a good introduction to Dries as a designer, and what he considers important in his work and the industry. Knowing where his ideas are coming from and how they are executed makes you appreciate his designs more. Andrew Tucker did a very good job at portraiting a very talented designer who has a very loyal fan base, but not necessarily a household name for many. The book has less to do with decribing his designs, but more to do with Dries' creative processes. Highly recommended for anybody who's a fan of his work, or just interested in fashion!

I think this book is very informativ, because it isn't a "pop" book about the glamour of fashion, but a book that concentrats on what has to be more important design and all its aspects(which appears explicit in the title).....And what can I say Dries' design is after my opinion some of the most innovative, yet without being to far out!
