Dries Van Noten‘s first U.S.-based flagship is located in Los Angeles on La Cienega Boulevard. Housing a part of Noten’s collection, this space joins others to reflect the spirit and energy of its host city. The 8,500-square-foot space is the largest of any Dries Van Noten store, offering guests a chance to explore a creative encounter filled with more than just clothing and accessories. Comprised of two separate houses separated by a parking lot, the space welcomes The Big House on two floors, with the ground floor for the women’s collections and men’s pieces upstairs. Out back, The Little House is an open concept dedicated to art exhibitions and creative projects. Throughout, shoppers can view photographs by the house’s longtime collaborator, Azuma Makoto, furniture pieces by Johan Viladrich, Murano glass chandeliers, among other striking design elements.
