Dries Van Noten – SS2025 Men

Yesterday, June 23, Dries Van Noten showed his very last collection on the runway in Paris. The legendary Belgian designer is retiring, SS 2025 Men is his final collection.

You can watch the video on the Dries Van Noten website if you have a problem watching the video above.

Dave and Steph have made a lot of the music for his fashion shows, so it’s no surprise they were back on board for the final one.

This time they picked Bowie – who else? – and made an mesmerizing mix with snippets from interviews, Moonage Daydream and ‘Sound And Vision’ for the grand finale.

Watch the video till the very end…and see the largest disco ball you’ve ever seen!

Although this was the Men’s 2025 Spring Summer collection, Van Noten also had models on the runway from the past. Soulwax fans could spot a familiar face..

On Monday, Dave and Steph posted this message on the Soulwax instagram page:

Over the last twenty years we have been fortunate to have been asked to collaborate with Dries and his team on a number of runway show soundtracks.

From the first Roxy Music based one on, we’ve always tried to make them about one particular song or one artist as opposed to a mix of loosely connected tracks, as was and still is quite common in fashion. This context has allowed us to deconstruct and rebuild some of our favourite artists and/or pieces of music, using the original multitrack recordings. Obviously a dream come true for us music junkies.

It seemed only fitting then, that for his final and fittingly emotional show we revisit David Bowie and rework Sound & Vision.

Dries, it has been an honour to work with you for all these years and we wish you and Patrick only the best in this new chapter of your lives.
