Dries Van Noten, which presented its women’s collection yesterday, also opened its first men’s only store at 9 Quai Malaquais, a few feet away from its women’s boutique.
The brand’s 1,076 square foot shop’s interior reflects the seventies rust colored look, while furniture and design objects from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, adds to the rich vintage feel.
The evening collection of guys, Line 9, which was sold exclusively at the Paris store, features tuxedo jackets and trousers, silky tops and bottoms and a velvet dinner jacket. In addition to that a small accessories collection in a similar tone is also on sale.
Dries Van Noten now counts a total of four freestanding units: in Antwerp, Belgium; Tokyo, and Paris, which has two locations.

ah its in the former gallery, I remember looking at windows..
I always wondered why there was no mens at the old store. Not sure if a standalone mens store will be succesful though?"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

thanks for the info faust. i spent several hours in the women's shop (which is a lovely place) a few months ago with my wife and crazy daughter running around everywhere (standing on the antique tables and getting told-off by the assistants!). at least I'll have somewhere to go next time.

lol. yes, works the other way around too! you are welcome. we went in one time in paris, and i did not like the haute bourgeois vibe of the women's store (mostly because of the sales people, and we were there after the rick owens show, so you can imagine how we looked). a clash of cultures, so to speak. but i am sure the new space is lovely, and i will stop by next time i'm in paris.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

That would be nice. I haven't heard anything. I don't think Belgian designers in general like to venture much into the U.S., although Dries and Raf both have dedicated PR here.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I think a DvN shop would do well in NYC but solo shops are very expensive to build and run. Not that he doesn't have the money but his clothes are already well represented in New York so financially it might not make sense to take the risk. It would be nice though.THE HOUSE OF DIS

Yes, the amount of womenswear Barneys alone buys would be enough to fill a little store. I think a certain SZ member won't let me lie...Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

This summer I spoke with the Rep. for Dries, and I asked the same question and her answer was that Dries doesn't really care for New York City and he can't visually imagine placing a store in Manhattan. He picks his location by the history of the building and area.
