Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten is to step down as creative director of his namesake brand at the end of June.

The 65-year-old, who over nearly four decades became a master of blending the old with the new, with a luscious use of colours, said that the 2025 men’s spring-summer collection will be the last in his current role.
