Dries Van Noten Women Spring/Summer 2027 / SS27 at Paris Fashion Week

Dries Van Noten Women SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 collection begins with a simple idea: the pleasure of dressing up. Not necessarily for an event or for someone else, but simply because it can change the way we feel. The starting point is an actress leaving a film set and returning to the street, still carrying the atmosphere of the movie in her mind.

That connection to cinema becomes one of the strongest elements of Dries Van Noten Women SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Julian imagines fictional films and their posters, turning the idea of a movie poster into clothing. Printed T-shirts, polos and dresses carry these imaginary images, while garments are layered and combined so that one image can overlap another. It gives the collection a playful quality without making glamour feel overly polished.

The clothes mix familiar symbols of glamour with more everyday pieces. Twinsets, animal prints, pussy bows, brooches and red-lip-style glamour sit alongside T-shirts, polos and workwear references. Some workwear jackets are transformed into sheer organza, while contrasting linings are allowed to show instead of being hidden. Lurex jacquards also move into daytime looks, creating a contrast between something traditionally associated with evening and more casual dressing. Colour adds another layer to this cinematic mood. The palette moves from dusty neutrals, cosmetic pinks and mauves to acid yellow, turquoise and orange, with occasional metallic shine. Spray prints scatter stars, flamingos and martini glasses across the clothes, while sheer layers and veiling create deliberately blurred images.

Accessories are treated almost like part of the characters being created. Brooches, necklaces and charms are accumulated rather than carefully matched, sometimes becoming part of the clothes and shoes themselves. A classic pump with a wooden heel, large bags carried in the hand and even a single driving glove add small cinematic references without turning the looks into literal costumes. What makes the collection interesting is the way Julian approaches glamour as something personal and slightly imperfect. The idea is less about looking perfectly dressed and more about experimenting in front of the mirror, trying different identities and finding a version of yourself that feels different for a moment.

Dries Van Noten Women SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027, Julian treats glamour almost like a game. The familiar ingredients are there—jewellery, prints, colour, heels and cinematic references—but they are deliberately left loose enough for the wearer to rearrange them. The result is a collection that moves between everyday dressing and fantasy, like a movie character who continues playing her role even after the cameras stop.
