In a fashion world wear designers can work for one fashion house one day and another the next, the news that Dries Van Noten is retiring came as a bit of a shock. The Belgian legend decided to take a step back to focus on other projects. His official swan song will be the Spring 2025 Menswear collection, but devotees can now score even more precious pieces of his clothing thanks to the brand's new (and final) collaboration with Mytheresa.
It's actually perfect timing. Not just because it's the designer's last women's collection. The collab is summer-themed and what better way to celebrate temperatures finally warming up than by investing in items that'll look cool when it turns stifling? There are 25 must-haves up for grabs. They're pretty print-tastic, too. These are definitely not for all of you sartorial wallflowers out there. No, you have to want to stand out in all of your summer surroundings. Because it's Van Noten, each one is tailored to perfection.
That quality means you're going to need to shell out some dough. But think about it. You'll have one of the last pieces designed by a true master. You can't really put a price on that. Plus, the clothing is designed to last a lifetime so you'll get a lot of wear out of whatever you choose.
Now, let's get to the fun part. The shopping. Go matchy-matchy by paring the Printed Bowling Shirt ($609) with the Printed Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Pants ($507). You can swap the pants for the Printed Maxi Skirt ($578) if you're planning on having a Skirt Girl Summer. The Printed Crêpe Midi Dress ($814) has got summer written all over it. Layer it under the Printed Double-Breasted Satin Coat ($1,531) on those chilly nights. Summer is halter top season so the Printed Halterneck Silk Pongee Top ($558) will really make an impression.

The collection is now available on Mytheresa's website. It's important to get while the getting is good. Because while we gave you a heads-up, there will be countless others seeking out these destined-to-be-iconic pieces. Even if you can only afford to splurge a little, pick out your favorite item and click add to bag. You'll be one of the chosen few lucky enough to score one of Van Noten's final creations.
