Julian Klausner

Julian Klausner’s Dries Van Noten was the winner of a Paris men’s season where grand statements risked overpowering the fashion, reports Angelo Flaccavento.

While critics may have hailed Tom Ford and Givenchy as standout moments of the season, new analysis from BoF INSIGHTS PULSE says Schiaparelli, Coperni and Chanel led the user-generated conversation on social media during Paris Fashion Week.

Julian Klausner, Dries Van Noten’s former head of womenswear, will make his runway debut as the label’s creative director in March. ‘I like to think I encouraged Dries to embrace bolder expressions,’ Klausner told Tim Blanks.
