For the first time, fashion designer Dries Van Noten allows a filmmaker to accompany him in his creative process and rich home life. For an entire year Reiner Holzemer documented the precise steps that Dries takes to conceive of four collections: the rich fabrics, embroidery and prints exclusive to his designs, as well as the emblematic fashion shows that bring his collections to the world and have become cult “must sees’ at the Parisian Fashion week. This film offers an insight into the life, mind, and creative heart of a master fashion designer who, for more than 25 years, has remained independent in a landscape of fashion consolidation and globalization. Official Selection at the **Copenhagen International Documentary Festival** and **Sheffield Doc Fest**. *"... If you want to learn how Van Noten built a career working outside the fashion-industrial complex, director Reiner Holzemer provides plenty of insight." - Caroline Jones, **Washington City Paper***
