Dries Van Noten's Fall/Winter 2013 collection is a hallucinatory vision that treads the line between pajamas and luxurious weekend wear that aims to impress, its inspiration coming from the so-called "morning after" of an imagined rock star city boy and the certain innate nonchalance associated with this concept. The cornerstone of this collection, and arguably every design by Van Noten, is that "nothing is what it seems." Nowhere is this more apparent than in this sherpa rider, which upon closer inspection is not mouton, but a softer and more forgiving, plush yet thin wale black cotton corduroy. Diamond quilting provides structure to the lapels, allowing them to hold their shape and provide adequate coverage to the chest even when unzipped. The collar is shorter in proportion and can be flipped up and fastened at the neck for additional warmth with sherpa lining that continues throughout the body. The outer is finished with chunky, polished chrome zippers along the asymmetrical front closure, the sleeve cuffs and the two large front pockets that cover half the chest.

"Rave and Renaissance" was the inspiration for Dries Van Noten's Fall/Winter 2014 collection: an interjection of neons, acid washed and tie-dyed among overdyed and overwashed underpinnings. The collection was a reaction to his work on a retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris where he dug deep into the museum's archives, rediscovering the archaic beauty in the clothing of a distant past. Rather than a true representation, the collection is interpreted through a modern lens and stripped of the usual prints and embroidery Van Noten is known for, opting for more contemporary trims including zippers, grosgrain and fur trimming. This cotton fleece bomber features a signature tricolor grosgrain strip along the black, a chunky 2-way zipper front closure, and two large zippered side pockets for a look that is more rave than renaissance, and more wearable to boot.

Still fresh off of the grunge music that embodied the '90s, Takahiro Miyashita continued to put his rebellious spirit into his clothes. Items such as the "Cigarettes!" shirt from Number (N)ine's Spring/Summer 2001 collection is a perfect example of how punk rock was exemplified within the garments. Each pocket tee is vintage-treated to appear lived in and then intricately damaged on the front and back to resemble burns that came as a result of the owner dropping a cigarette on themselves while incapacitated. The attention to detail that was used in creating these garments is a testament to why Number (N)ine has retained its relevancy well past its years.
