Julian Klausner has been appointed as the company’s creative director and will oversee the men’s and women’s collections replacing the founder Dries Van Noten.

Dries Van Noten himself commented on the appointment: “I have complete confidence in Julian’s creativity and vision. He is not only a talented designer but also a clear choice to take over after my departure. His deep understanding of the brand and its values will ensure a seamless transition and a bright future”.

Klausner is well-known to the house because the Belgian designer has collaborated with Mr. Van Noten on women’s collections for six years. The next collection is set to be unveiled on 5th March at Paris Fashion Week, the day the brand has selected for many years.
