The Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show, captured by Julian Klausner, took center stage at Paris Fashion Week. The presentation showcased the highly anticipated Dries Van Noten Spring Summer 2026 womenswear ready-to-wear collection, a highlight of the prestigious event. Fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders were treated to a captivating display of the designer's latest vision. For those eager to delve deeper into the collection, a dedicated video provides an exclusive, up-close look at the intricate details of Dries Van Noten bags, shoes, and every single runway look from the show.

Julian Klausner, the creative director, presented the menswear collection titled "Just a Perfect Day" on a runway dusted with yellow sand, evoking a mood of relaxed elegance. The collection featured structured tailoring with unexpected twists, such as peplum-style tops and cinched jackets, and explored the tension between casual and formalwear. Bold textures, striking patterns, and vibrant, clashing colors were also prominent. Accessories like sunglasses, belts, and bags completed the looks.

The womenswear collection, Klausner's third overall for the brand, was inspired by crashing ocean waves, symbolizing transformation. The collection progressed from lighter colors and romantic shapes to a tide of clashing colors, surf-inspired silhouettes, and 1960s prints, reflecting themes of joy and optimism. Key elements included abstracted surfer wetsuits reimagined as knitted unitards and slouchy robes, Bermuda shorts in silver jacquard and embellished chevron stripes, and Op Art-inspired two-tone colors and bold shapes.
