Walk the Walk: Dries Van Noten S/S 2013 Menswear Collection

I am pretty sure you know a lot of designers have used camouflage as one of the major elements on their collections (example: Prada) but I am so surprised to see Dries can transform this pattern into something special and unique. Usually, I find camouflage to be very tacky if it is applied on the pieces wrongly but Dries uses different colour combinations to make it fashion forward and cool. I really like the layering on the runway which shows how people should wear camouflage next season. However, if you are not a fan of this pattern, there are also some very nice solid pieces for you to choose from, which are also very colourful and cheerful.

I need that orange blazer!

Pros:
- Even though a lot of designers have done the camouflage concept before, this collection has truly reflected how Dries' skill by turning into something unique and special.
- I really like the colour palette, it's very colourful and cheerful.
- Sportswear are great and the suits are something that I have my eyes on
- The different colour combinations of camouflage have really raised the bar for other designers. Bravo attempt!

Cons:
- I am still not really into the sandals, just not my cup of tea.

Eye Candies: 
- White/Orange shirt with the camouflage stripe
- White sport jacket
- Blue/yellow checked blazer
- Orange sport jacket
- Camouflage shorts
