The curtain fell and the disco ball was raised celebrating 38 years and 150 collections of Dries Van Noten, who staged his final fashion show Saturday (June 22) at Paris Fashion Week.

The Belgian fashion maestro, a member of the influential "Antwerp Six” known for his innovative and unexpected elegance, announced his retirement in March of this year.
