Gilded Flowers: Dries Van Noten's SS14 Collection

One of the most joyful moments of this spring thus far was reacquainting my pedicured toes with my favorite DRIES VAN NOTEN heels. The burgundy embossed Mary Janes––my best penny-pinching-enabled buy from Fall/Winter 2013––are classic Dries: feminine and elegant, with edge. I’m even more obsessed with the Spring/Summer 2014 collection that just hit the racks at Opening Ceremony. From the floral motifs to the intricate gold traced through the collection, it’s the perfect incarnation of the designer's playful yet grown-up aesthetic. 

There is something about Dries that reads and sounds phenomenal, and this past year has only reinforced the brand's icon status. In addition to joining Opening Ceremony's family of designers during our Year of Belgium, Dries Van Noten has a new exhibit in Paris at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, as well as an accompanying book. Plus, there’s that Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The moment I saw it on the runway, I couldn’t wait to style it. Check out the results below.
