PARIS (AFP) - Belgian designer Dries Van Noten on Wednesday sent out a collection combining boxy men's tailoring with ostrich feathers and sequins in the show-stopping surroundings of Paris's Hotel de Ville.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was among the Belgian's many admirers who applauded from the front row.
Looks included a collegiate-style striped coat and scarf teamed with dark trousers and a delicate white blouse.
Another featured a red, white and blue flapper-style dress worn with a long polo neck sweater and brogues.
