(via Wiki) Dries van Noten is a Belgian fashion designer. His work is characterised by a creative use of prints (often ethnic), colours, original fabrics and layering. He has a passionate and faithful following despite the fact he does not advertise. Dries Van Noten works and lives in Antwerp. He has several shops, the first one being 'Het Modepaleis' which opened in Antwerp in 1989, followed by shops in Hong Kong and Tokyo. He sells to around 500 shops around the world; his company is entirely self-financed. In 2008, van Noten won the prestigious International Award of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

I think he is one of very few designers with a sense of style and aesthetics + he has a feel for color that is so subtle, which I believe is unique.
