The plaids of this ensemble bring to mind the ubiquitous flannels of grunge, but Van Noten’s reinterpretation is grunge gone couture. With luxe fabrics and chic styling, as Women’s Wear Daily wrote, “Van Noten took the young, gritty concepts of punk and grunge and transported them to a place grown-up, elegant and drop-dead gorgeous.”
