Inspired by Lou Reed’s song Perfect Day, the Dries Van Noten Spring 2026 Menswear collection captures that dreamy, unhurried energy – the kind that lets tailored suits and glittering sequins happily coexist. Backstage, the mood feels exactly like that: playful but polished, with models slipping between satin coats, embroidered shorts, and punchy florals. It’s all about balance — classic tailoring meets off-duty nonchalance, bold textures get thrown over sporty silhouettes, and eveningwear comes with a twist. As for accessories, think charm necklaces made from shells and gold wire, and oversized bags in bowling and duffel shapes. These behind-the-scenes shots offer a close-up look at the sparkle, the structure, and the spontaneity that made the collection feel like one long, stylish daydream.
