I want people to be able to use the clothes I make to communicate. I give them words that they can use to build their own sentences in order to tell something about themselves. /

For issue #20 of mono.kultur, mono.studio had the pleasure of collaborating with Belgian fashion designer Dries van Noten, renowned not only for his distinct use of patterns, prints, and colour, but also for his gently uncompromising and thoughtful standing within the fashion industry. For the accompanying series – distilling the preceding four seasons and a turning point in the career of the designer – the camera describes a full circle during the course of the issue, slowly closing in as the interview in the magazine progresses to reveal a more intimate side of Dries van Noten.
