Dries Van Noten, aged 65, is stepping down as creative director of his eponymous fashion label this summer, following the upcoming Paris fashion week menswear show in June. Although details about his successor remain pending, Van Noten said that his studio team would oversee the next womenswear collection. Despite selling a majority stake in his label to the Spanish conglomerate Puig in 2018, Van Noten retained his position as chair of the board and creative director until his imminent departure.
