Label Text:This jacket plays on Yves Saint Laurent’s safari jackets. For this collection, Dries Van Noten was heavily influenced by the 1970s and used denim as a vehicle for pastiche and historical homage. Van Noten created the denim he used by replacing the traditionally white weft threads of denim with a gold Lurex, giving the textile a subtle glow.
