Embroidered Floral Coat SS1995

Dries Van Noten's SS1995 collection — one of the most celebrated in Belgian fashion history — used elaborate embroidery, ethnic textiles, and layered pattern-mixing to create clothing that felt simultaneously exotic and deeply personal. Van Noten's approach of mixing luxury with the vernacular, East with West, and historical references with contemporary silhouette has remained the defining tension of his work. The embroidered floral coats from this collection are among the most wearable works of art ever produced. Value: $2,000–$7,000.
