James Reeve for Dries Van Noten.

Dries Van Noten discovered the series of works by James Reeve entitled ‘Lightscapes’ when presiding over the fashion jury at the Festival d’Hyères in 2010.  While viewing this series of photos, Dries Van Noten was inspired to incorporate the photographs into his collection for women for Spring-Summer 2012. The result of this collaboration of art meeting  fashion are a group of dresses, shirts, skirts and accessories from Van Noten’s latest collection for women which will be displayed alongside James Reeve’s nightscape photos of cities such as Beirut, London, Las Vegas and Marseille.
