Julian Klausner on Designing His Best Dries Van Noten Collection Yet

Just over 48 hours ago, Julian Klausner presented his Spring 2027 Dries Van Noten ready-to-wear collection in Paris, which is already being lauded as one of his best collections to date. For his first podcast appearance, Nicole sat down with him in the Vogue Paris offices to discuss the inspiration behind this collection, his journey to Dries, and his industry peers. With regards to his show a few days ago, they discussed the movie poster concept and how the show was inspired by cinema, while making a wearable collection. “Yesterday, a friend of mine said that she saw it as ‘movie star meets picking up the kids.’ I like to imagine what Marilyn Monroe would be looking like today if she had to run errands after a day of filming.” Asked about how to describe the Dries sensibility to listeners unfamiliar with the brand, Klausner said, “I think the playfulness and the invitation to be a little bit extra with your clothes is very much what we stand for.” Klausner spends a great deal of time in the archives of Dries and describes the office as a living archive. “We have a lot of colleagues that have been there for decades,” he told Nicole, “people are constantly wearing pieces from the '90s or 2000s.” Also on today’s episode, producer Chelsea Daniel catches up with Chloe for a quick fit check and to talk about all the shows she’s been attending since touching down in Paris. They speak to Jordan Roth after the Schiaparelli show and go backstage to chat with the hairstylist at the Chloé show.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
