Dries Van Noten Says He Reads tFS to See What People Think of His Collections

The extent to which fashion producers are supportive of active discussion and honest feedback on their work, in the Forums or anywhere else, is (at the very least) a gauge of their maturity. On this score (and on many others, but we’ll leave that for some other post), Dries Van Noten is a shining star. 

In a video interview with French fashion blogger (or as the Parisians say, blogueuseGarance Doré which went online today, the Belgian designer talks about reading tFS after showing his collections: “I go on [The] Fashion Spot to see how people react. All these things for me, it’s part of the modern times, so why not?”

Plenty of models (like Coco Rocha) and stylists (like Edward Enninful) have long admitted to reading their own threads, but I think this is the first time a big-D Designer has come out as caring about what the Internet peons think. Anyway, clearly he’s charming and also the antithesis of a hack.

Watch! (His comments about tFS are at the 8:20 mark.)
