The Belgian haute couture house owned by the Puig Group has announced the appointment of 33-year-old Belgian Julian Klausner. He had already been working on Dries Van Noten’s women’s collections since 2018.

Dries Van Noten is betting on continuity to replace its eponymous founder as creative director, who stepped down last June.
Julian Klausner, his newly-appointed successor, is well equipped to understand and respect the DNA of the haute couture house owned by the Spanish Puig Group.
Like Dries Van Noten, the 33-year-old designer was born in the flat country. After graduating in 2016 from Brussels’ La Cambre school, he began his career as a junior designer working alongside a big name in fashion, in this case John Galliano at Maison Margiela.
