A glitchy trip into the mind of one of the world’s most-adored designers, conceptualised, shot and edited by i-D’s in-house team.
Data-moshed artworks morph into catwalk couture clips whilst Dries talks about drawing inspiration from everything from fine art to fashion movements in this unique short. As the first ever exhibition of his work captivates Paris, i-D take the viewer on a kaleidoscope tour of the colours and brush strokes that have informed Dries’ collections in one of his most intimate interviews to date.
With a career spanning over two decades, Dries reveals the benefits of being an ‘older’ designer, how art and fashion run in his family and how he’s still intrigued by the chaos of jazz in this digital dream sequence.
ABOUT i-D
Throughout decades, i-D has built its reputation as a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. It began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980, and quickly earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style, always abiding by the premise of “Originate. Don’t imitate.” i-D has come a long way since its pre-digital, cut-and-paste days and has developed into a glossy magazine that documents fashion and contemporary culture, breaking ground along the way. Constantly reinventing itself, as with the new digital platform, i-D continues to encourage creativity, which is why after more than 30 years, its editorial content still manages to surprise and inspire.
