After three years of insisting, the German filmmaker Reiner Hölzemer was granted permission to follow the Flemish fashion designer Dries Van Noten in his work and life. Van Noten, whose style is characterized by warm colors, exquisite prints, embroidery and elegant cuts is one of the last independent fashion designers, thus occupying a unique position in the fashion designing landscape. He has been at the top for 25 years, and many of his collections can be nominated as iconic.
