Dries Van Noten: SS26

Oct 2025

For the Dries Van Noten SS26 collection, photographer Lucie Rox captures a series of editorial fashion images defined by intricate garment construction and tactile detail. The work leans into a deliberate use of soft, diffused lighting and cool-toned palettes to highlight the collection's complex surface treatments, including botanical embroidery, beadwork, and layered metallic accents. The series utilises a variety of technical approaches, ranging from motion blur and long exposure effects that create abstract silhouettes to moody, low-key lighting that emphasises the volume and texture of the apparel. Each shot maintains a consistent focus on structural elements, whether through architectural layering or the interplay of patterned knits against minimal studio backdrops.
