Dries Van Noten’s most memorable looks, as the Belgian fashion designer steps down

Many famous people, such as Florence Pugh, Cate Blanchett, and Margot Robbie, have worn Dries Van Noten's designs. After 38 years, Belgian designer Dries Van Noten is stepping down as creative director of his namesake fashion brand. "In the early '80s, as a young guy in Antwerp, my dream was to have a voice in fashion. Van Noten fulfilled his dream with the help of many supportive people. He now wants to focus on other things. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dries Van Noten (@driesvannoten) He will step down at the end of June. His last collection will be menswear in spring/summer 2025, in Paris in June. His studio team will create the women's collection. They have been working closely together for years. I have complete confidence that they will do a great job." This doesn't mark the end of the Dries Van Noten fashion brand The House that Van Noten treasures so much will soon announce a new creative director, and he has stated that he will continue to stay involved in it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dries Van Noten (@driesvannoten) Van Noten completed a fashion design course at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium in 1981. After opening his flagship store in Antwerp in 1989, he became a member of 'The Antwerp Six,' a group of Belgian creatives revolutionizing the fashion industry. The group included Walter Van Beirendonck, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Van Saene, Dirk Bikkembergs, and Marina Yee. Five years later, he debuted his first collection. In 1991, he debuted at Paris Fashion Week with a menswear collection. Two years later, he launched womenswear and became a regular on the schedule. Fashion firm Puig acquired a majority share in the brand in 2018. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dries Van Noten (@driesvannoten) Over the years, Van Noten has built up a reputation as a quietly experimental fashion designer. He blends the old with the new. He plays around with silhouette. This is mainly seen in the ballooning, oversized shapes of coats and sleeves. The design was showcased at his recent Paris Fashion Week show in February. Florals are a recurring theme in his clothes, and Van Noten says the flowers often inspire him in his garden. While Van Noten's work isn't a red carpet mainstay like some of the other major brands on the Paris Fashion Week calendar, celebrities make an impact when they choose to wear his designs. Florence Pugh was nominated for a BAFTA for her role as Amy March in Little Women back in 2020, and she brought a welcome splash of color to the red carpet in her pink and black Van Noten creation. A fuchsia dress-meets-cape was worn over a black mini dress, with the voluminous sleeves and bow detailing giving a subtle nod to Amy March's fashion. Pink and black were central to Van Noten's work in 2020, as Margot Robbie also wore that color combination to the London premiere of Birds Of Prey the same year. She paired her full black skirt with a feathered bralette, tapping into the trend for underwear as outerwear, and donned hot pink opera gloves. Cate Blanchett chose to wear Dries Van Noten to the Oscars in 2008 when she was pregnant with her third child, Ignatius. The midnight blue gown had an empire line for her bump and gold accents. Additionally, the sequinned flowers on the skirt were particularly eye-catching. Kirsten Dunst wore a floral Van Noten gown to the Baby2Baby Gala in Nov 2023. Noomi Rapace wore a navy and white floral print dress with statement red gloves at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2022. The dress, created by Van Noten, featured dramatic oversized sleeves.

A cotton-print dress and Logwood dye

This brown cotton print is a reproduction from a gown in Colonial Williamsburg’s collection (Gown no. 2004-97). While I am still uncertain of whether this dress was originally purple or dyed with logwood, I have chosen that print for this project because:

Some purple dyes from this period have discolored into brown

Logwood dye does brown with age depending on the mordant

Logwood produced a variety of colors including, potentially, this rich brown

Purple is my favorite color and, since it’s a color I like to incorporate into my costumes, I think it’s important to discuss the extent to which European pursuit of this dye contributed to slavery and colonization in central America

Logwood is a type of dyewood used in the 17th and 18th centuries to produce a wide range of dyes, particularly purples and blacks. It was highly sought-after by European nations for their growing textile industries (Newton 16). By Europeans first encountered logwood in the 1550s, when Spaniards waged campaigns against Maya on the Yucatan peninsula (Offen 113). Scholarship largely focuses on British harvesting一British interests in logwood lead to the creation of British Honduras, later Belize. European powers also tried growing logwood elsewhere. The British and French planted logwood in Jamaica, Haiti, and other Caribbean islands, and by the end of the 18th century they had even planted logwood in the Indian and Pacific Oceans (Offen 113). Logwood thus became another product with which colonizers transformed other landscapes for their own profit.

In the 17th century, logwood became a significant component of colonizer economies in the Caribbean. In 1679 in Jamaica, one government paper recorded a sugar export of 7637.75 tons, unsurprisingly the largest export on the table. The second largest export, however, was logwood, at 5119 tons (”Account of Passengers”). Logwood was primarily sold by British “Baymen,” who operated illegally in Spanish Yucutan and Belize. Baymen along the Yucutan Peninsula and Bay of Honduras lead a marginal existence. They relied on their nearby indigenous allies, the Miskito, to aid in protection (Newton 25). But this was not the only way in which the British used indigenous groups. In order to support their logging, they raided nearby Maya villages, enslaving men, women, and children (Bialuschewski 49). Women were forced to stay in the loggers’ camps, while men and children were exported elsewhere, to places including Jamaica and New York (Bialuschewski 50). 

British colonial interests in enslaved Maya waned as the Maya abandoned their nearby villages and the events of King Philip’s war in New England curtailed the market for indigenous slaves overseas (Bialuschewski 49, 51). Nevertheless, the Baymen’s commercial enterprise was still reliant on forced labor. Proximity to British islands in the Caribbean meant that logwood providers along the peninsula and the bay could access a steady stream of enslaved Africans, with Jamaica as the main source (Restall 400). They acquired further enslaved men and women by trading with other merchants, like the Dutch (Newton 29). With an enslaved labor force, exportation of logwood continued to increase. By 1755, Baymen were exporting 13,000 tons of logwood annually (Offen 121-122). By the end of the 18th century, Belize had become a territory wholly dependent on the wood cut by enslaved individuals, who made up ¾ of the total population (Restall 400). 

The logging industry’s existence within the Spanish Empire, far from the protection of English imperial forces, continued to be a source of instability. This instability disproportionately fell on the enslaved African men and women forced to harvest the dyewood. British logging settlements were sites of frequent skirmishes with the Spanish. These skirmishes often took the form of raids in which Spanish forces would seize the enslaved men who worked on Baymen’s operations (Restall 389). But the proximity of Spanish settlements also presented opportunity; enslaved individuals could escape to these settlements claiming their desire to convert to Catholicism, thus having themselves declared free in Spanish territory (Restall 391). 

The British merchants who profited from enslaved production of marketable logwood also found advantage in pursuing religion. In 1727, a group of Baymen offered to donate logwood to Christ Church in Boston, so that the church could benefit from its sale (Newton 15-16). In thanks, the church council had a lavish pew built for them, right next to the pulpit (Newton 16). Over the next 30 years, more than 80 baymen continued donating logwood to Christ Church, assuring that they retained pride of place in the church’s social hierarchy (Newton 17). Patronage of this church acted as a sort of reputation laundering, in which these merchants, scarcely better than buccaneers, illegally harvesting logwood on the fringes of the Spanish empire, could refashion themselves as respectable British gentlemen. Christ Church was also called Old North Church. That was the same church  immortalized in Revolutionary War lore as the sight of the “One if by land, two if by sea” in the journey of Paul Revere. The exploitation of Black and indigenous labor for fashionable dyes therefore has a direct link to one of the most famous popular narratives of the American Revolution.

Logwood presented a unique opportunity for the Thirteen Colonies because it presented a loophole to the resented mercantilist system. Since logwood was harvested outside of the British empire, traders could avoid customs and taxation (Rossano 240). Merchants from New York and New England acted as important middlemen in the logwood trade between the Bay of Honduras and Europe (Newton 19, Rossano 229), and they found the logwood trade to be a convenient source of revenue to offset the cost of desired consumer goods (Rossano 229). Thus, colonial consumers of European imports could still benefit from the exploitation of enslaved labor and disruption of indigenous communities along the Yucatan peninsula, even if they themselves were not directly involved in the logwood trade, or even if they weren’t purchasing logwood-dyed textiles.

April Shopping 1

As I mentioned in my previous post, CDJapan has decided to ship out all the packages/orders that were held because of the suspension of the SAL shipping method - with airmail and without any extra cost, which I really appreciated. In my case it meant 7 (yes, you read right SEVEN) packages, which arrived in 2 weeks. Hence the variety of different fandoms: Promare, Mairimashita Iruma-kun, Given, HQ!!, JJK, Naruto, Tensura...

I finally received my copy of Twittering Birds vol 4 (limited first print) - the first one never made it, so had to reorder it. I got the latest Finder and Natsume volume as well. The GIVEN movie desktop calendar made it to me as well - too bad Mafuyu’s page is over (he was in the January/February page).

Let’s see the figures: I like the Pop Up Parade Series - for that price level you can get a quite decent figure. I did a comparison shot for Lio with the ARTFX J figure and there you can see why the later cost a lot more. However, this is my first non-chibi Galo figure and I’m happy with it. :) As for the Rimuru figure - it’s my first Figuarts Mini figures and I’m really surprised how nice it is. It is a bit like nendos, but cheaper (half the price or less) and much less extra parts. The details of the eyes are amazing - some 3D painting technique they used and it shows. They are a good alternative for nendos if you don’t mind the less extra parts and extra faces (plus the box takes up much less space XD).

Plushies! I am weak - when I see Megumi’s demon dogs, I have to have them. Especially if they come as a package, like with these plush keychains. They are bigger than I expected - as so soft! ♥

Talking about JJK - with this keychain set I did not have to face the nightmare of blind package - in the box you have all characters of the set. Yay! Love this set, especially because it has Nanamin in it!

Up next are the HQ!! ‘tree’ acrylic standees. I loved those images so much, had to have them - all of them, of course. They look stunning!

Haikyuu!! stamps are silly little gadgets but they are cheap and cute, and the set contained 18 characters! I love how almost all the Jackal boys got in the orange team. XD

I received another Nyaruto set! I never thought they would include Zabuza and Haku in any of these sets, so when they I saw them, I knew I needed this. I pre-ordered one last set which will come out in September, but I stop collecting and buying them after that.

Last but not least, a few other things I got: GaLio mug and rubber straps, AshEiji clearfile, Pash! Illustration File 2020 and a textile mask with the logo of Inarizaki.

People leave all sorts of things inside library books by accident.

Grocery lists, of course, but also postcards, business cards, fancy leather bookmarks, fancy leather pet collars, and receipts of all sorts. A Christmas card, envelope addressed to somewhere out of state but not sealed or stamped. Sheets of sparkly unicorn stickers, all used but one. Loose DVDS, not property of the library. Pamphlets from the local Jehovah’s Witnesses, who walk in their pairs through our small downtown and along the sidewalk-less two lane roads that radiate out from where Union Street meets the waterfront like cracks in a windowpane.

Resignation letters. Breakup letters. Mittens. The occasional piece of hair, gray or black or dyed green. A laminated memorial card from a funeral held September 16, 2001, with a photograph of two young people with the same smile and same nose, one name printed underneath. Notes scribbled on the backs of the receipts, some legible, some not. Photos of kids, photos of pets. Mysterious sticky substances. Pretty leaves. Library cards. Credit cards. Crumpled Cheetos bags.

The valuable things get returned, but it’s the important things that never make it home that stick with me. If I do find the person who used the February 29th page from their 2016 page-a-day calendar as a bookmark until September 2020, what do I say to them? How can I tell the person who wrote “Benny” on the back of a polaroid of a yellow lab that they write their Ys just like my grandfather did? Did Alex, who wrote their number in purple pen on the bottom of a piece of paper, ever get their call? And does the person who owns at least three copies of Meet The Fockers on Blu-Ray and chose on multiple occasions to slip them inside books (as bookmarks? as gifts? as warnings?) know how deeply fascinated and viscerally terrified I am by their life choices?

Store employees use 'open dating,' the calendar date on food packages, to decide when to pull an item from the shelf. For consumers, the date indicates freshness or quality. Use both the date itself and the phrase in front of the date, such as 'use by' or 'best by' to make your decision on which milk carton or cookie package to choose.

Tips

Take an extra second or two when taking foods off the shelves at the store so you can bring home the item with the longest use-by or best-by date available.

Federal law doesn't require manufacturers or stores to use opening dating, except for infant formula, but some states have their own requirements. If manufacturers choose to use dates, they must indicate the month, the day and a phrase explaining the date:

Sell by means that the store will pull the item after that date passes. You can still use the product after the date passes once you get it home.

Best by, Best if Used Before and Use by indicate that the quality of the product will suffer after the date passes. Breads or cookies will turn dry, granola bars may lose their crunch and a square of baking chocolate may turn whitish, but none of those conditions make the food unsafe.

Tips

Eggs are in a class by themselves when it comes to dating. A three-digit code on the carton represents the day the eggs were packed, with January 1 indicated as 001 and December 31st as 365. The sell-by date can be up to 45 days beyond the pack date, but you can still use the eggs safely after that time for an additional 3 to 5 weeks, according to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln website.

Open dating doesn't tell you whether or not your food is safe.

Because food within a 'use by' or 'best by' date can still be unsafe due to improper storage either at the store or at your home, learning about food safety is essential. You can do this in a number of ways:

That bloated, corrupt, incompetent Fuck is trying to scapegoat Fauci for HIS OWN covid-19 policy failures, as well as discredit him to use our children as guinea pigs in reporning schools. - Phroyd

For months, Anthony S. Fauci has played a lead role in America’s coronavirus pandemic, as a diminutive, Brooklyn-accented narrator who has assessed the risk and issued increasingly blunt warnings as the nation’s response has gone badly awry.

But as the Trump administration has strayed from the advice of many of its scientists and public health experts, the White House has moved to sideline Fauci, scuttled some of his planned TV appearances and largely kept him out of the Oval Office for more than a month even as coronavirus infections surge in large swaths of the country.

In recent days, the 79-year-old scientist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has found himself directly in the president’s crosshairs. During a Fox News interview Thursday with Sean Hannity, Trump said Fauci “is a nice man, but he’s made a lot of mistakes.” And when Greta Van Susteren asked him last week about Fauci’s assessment that the country was not in a good place, Trump said flatly: “I disagree with him.”

Fauci no longer briefs Trump and is “never in the Oval [Office] anymore,” said a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Fauci last spoke to the president during the first week of June, according to a person with knowledge of Trump’s calendar.

For some administration officials, such developments have been an early sign their job was on the line. But Trump cannot directly fire Fauci, a career civil servant with more than 50 years in government service who enjoys strong bipartisan support in Congress. In any case, the president has no plans to get rid of him, said the official.

As for Fauci himself, although he is frustrated by the turmoil and the state of the outbreak, friends say he has no plans to abandon his post, which includes a critical role in the development of a coronavirus vaccine and treatments.

Fauci has found other ways to get his message out, from online Facebook chats to podcasts and print media interviews. And in recent days, with coronavirus cases slamming hospitals in the South and West, he has been frankly critical of the U.S. response — and implicitly, of the president.

“As a country, when you compare us to other countries, I don’t think you can say we’re doing great. I mean, we’re just not,” Fauci said in a podcast interview with FiveThirtyEight last week.

Fauci did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this story.

A White House official released a statement saying that “several White House officials are concerned about the number of times Dr. Fauci has been wrong on things” and included a lengthy list of the scientist’s comments from early in the outbreak. Those included his early doubt that people with no symptoms could play a significant role in spreading the virus — a notion based on earlier outbreaks that the novel coronavirus would turn on its head. They also point to public reassurances Fauci made in late February, around the time of the first U.S. case of community transmission, that “at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis.”

Fauci’s supporters acknowledge those early mistakes, attributing them to the challenges posed by a new, largely unknown pathogen. They agree he downplayed the possibility of the virus spreading from person to person in January and early February even as it quietly seeded itself in communities on the East and West coasts. And, like several other public health officials, he initially said the public shouldn’t wear masks, but now strongly recommends it, especially when individuals can’t maintain distances of at least six feet from other people.

Fauci has said he was worried early in the outbreak about a shortage of masks and wanted to reserve them for health care workers. And he has said from the start that scientists’ knowledge of a brand new virus would evolve and recommendations could change based on new information.

The tension between the White House and Fauci was on full display last Sunday, when CBS host Margaret Brennan told millions of viewers that “Face the Nation” had tried for three months to interview him.

White House communications officials, who must approve television appearances related to the coronavirus, responded by allowing Fauci spots this week on PBS NewsHour, a CNN town hall with Sanjay Gupta and NBC’s “Meet the Press” during the prime Sunday morning slot, according to one person familiar with the situation.

Then Fauci joined a Facebook Live event on Tuesday with Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.), disputing Trump’s assertions that a lower death rate showed the country’s progress against the pandemic. Fauci called it “a false narrative” and warned, “Don’t get yourself into false complacency.”

Fauci did not end up making any of the scheduled appearances. The White House canceled them after his Tuesday remarks, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to relate behind-the-scenes conversations.

The episode underscores the deteriorating relationship between a scientist and a president who once bonded over their shared New York City roots and love of sports, but whose rapport has long since disintegrated over their differences on face mask policy, state reopening strategies and the use of antimalarial drugs to treat covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

A senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal deliberations, said the White House has asked Fauci to do certain media appearances but is not approving all of his requests.

“Our bigger issue with Fauci is stop critiquing the task force . . . and try to fix it,” the official said.

But that may be an impossible order given his strong differences with the White House over how the federal government should respond to the accelerating infection rate that’s pushing up the death toll after months of decline.

Fauci has argued that parts of the country experiencing surges should shut down, “but there is no buy-in for that,” said an official with direct knowledge of the conversation who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Four months ahead of Election Day, Trump wants to “reopen and move on,” said another senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal deliberations. Those who disagree with that approach are out of favor, the official said.Fauci has also expressed concern about the administration’s plan to reopen schools, but White House officials see keeping children home as having even more deleterious effects. Fauci has also called on state and local officials to mandate that people wear masks in public.

Even though his suggestions have been largely ignored, Fauci has not complained that he does not get in to see the president, according to one of the officials.

Trump is also galled by Fauci’s approval ratings. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll showed that 67 percent of voters trusted Fauci for information on the coronavirus, compared with 26 percent who trusted Trump.

The internal turmoil and troubled national response have taken a toll on Fauci, those close to him say. He is exasperated that states and individuals are not following the recommendations of experts, such as social distancing and wearing face coverings, said David Barr, a longtime HIV/AIDS activist who has known Fauci for 30 years.

Three or four weeks ago, Barr said, he and Fauci spoke about the troubling signs they were seeing as cases began to tick upward.

“You could just feel from Tony . . . how unsettled it made him,” Barr said. “He didn’t know what to do to change that, to stop it, but if the leadership isn’t there, and it’s clearly not there, then it’s really difficult to set the tone for the country.”

“What he cares most about is not his influence, but what’s happening — that things are going so badly and it’s going to cause so much disease and death,” Barr added.

People who are close to Fauci say the public undermining of scientists and public health experts has frustrated and saddened him because it adds to the chaos the country is already experiencing from the pandemic.

Despite the repeated pushback from Trump and the White House, however, Fauci has told those close to him that has no plans to do anything differently.

“For somebody like Tony, who tries to deal with people honestly and in a very open and generous way — that’s how he’s tried to approach his personal interactions with the president — it’s immensely frustrating and depressing. And there’s not much he can do about it,” said Peter Staley, a longtime HIV/AIDS activist who has known Fauci for more than 30 years.

“He’s going to continue being himself, which is always talking honestly about a public health crisis and a new infectious disease,” Staley added. “If things are looking more in conflict, it’s because this administration is going further and further adrift from a pro-science approach.”

White House communications officials say they have told government scientists and doctors that their job is to educate the public by talking about best practices to contain the virus and what the administration is doing to help the states.

Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo, a longtime Trump ally, approves Fauci’s television appearances, with input from the White House, said one of the senior administration officials. Several White House aides view Fauci’s interviews as unhelpful and say they’re frustrated he has expressed interest in appearing on programs such as MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” which are hostile to the administration. That one was rejected.

“The speculation game doesn’t serve the public in any particular way,” the same official said. “When it gets to handicapping and what’s going to happen next, get a cable news gig. We’ve conveyed that down to all the doctors.”

White House officials generally favor White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx, one of the senior administration officials said. Both Birx and Fauci have expressed frustration that their concerns have not gotten to the president, although Birx is working with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Jared Kushner, a White House senior adviser and Trump’s son-in-law, to ensure better communication, the official said.

The administration also plans to have Brett Giroir, an assistant HHS secretary, and FEMA Administrator Peter T. Gaynor do more appearances related to coronavirus.

Among those crusading against Fauci internally is Peter Navarro, the president’s trade adviser, who has clashed with Fauci over his opposition to adopting the use of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, to treat covid-19 before its effectiveness had been proved.

When Trump and Navarro repeatedly touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus, Fauci pushed back both internally and at task force briefings, arguing there was only anecdotal evidence about the drug’s efficacy. The Food and Drug Administration eventually revoked its temporary authorization after evidence showed it was not effective against covid-19 and could be dangerous for some patients.

“Dr. Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public but he has been wrong about everything I have ever interacted with him on,” Navarro said. “Now Fauci is saying that a falling mortality rate doesn’t matter when it is the single most important statistic to help guide the pace of our economic reopening. So when you ask me if I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice, my answer is only with caution.”

Friends and allies say Fauci doesn’t quit because he loves his job and also feels a great sense of responsibility about helping to develop coronavirus vaccines and treatments — the biggest challenge of his career and the only way the country can truly begin to move past the pandemic. He has long said he does not want to retire before there is an AIDS vaccine.

“He recognizes if he doesn’t intercede, things could fall apart very quickly — even more so than they have already,” said Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “He does it because he cares about the country and realizes he is uniquely positioned to help in this.”

Although his message is regularly at odds with the president, Fauci is naturally conflict-averse and has sought to establish a personal relationship with the six presidents he has served over his career.

“He’ll try to be accommodating except for principles that are truly not something he can compromise on,” said one former senior administration official who has worked closely with Fauci for years. “He will try to really accommodate and fulfill your reality, but he’s bound by the laws of science.”

In the previous five presidential administrations, Fauci has almost always played a key role in public health emergencies and infectious-disease responses by advising the president and serving as a chief spokesman for both Republican and Democratic administrations.

In many ways, he was shaped by the HIV/AIDS crisis that emerged during his first years as NIAID director when the Reagan administration remained largely silent about a disease afflicting mostly gay men.

Amid fear of the virus and the stigma associated with having the infection, Fauci learned the importance of communicating with the public about new diseases that were little understood. He found out it was critical to speak honestly about the risks, and help people differentiate between valid concerns and unfounded fears, according to several people who have worked with him.

As the face of the HIV/AIDS response, Fauci also developed a thick skin, experiencing the ire of activists who felt an uncaring federal government was not doing enough to make treatments available for dying patients. But over the years, he forged friendships with some of those who had begun as adversaries, activists said.

The lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS outbreak have had an impact on how he has handled almost every public health crisis since. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, the Obama administration made Fauci its chief spokesperson to explain to people the actual risk of the virus.

Fauci briefed Obama about three times a week and had unlimited access to him if something came up, said Ron Klain, the Obama administration’s Ebola czar and now an adviser to the Biden campaign.

But in the coronavirus pandemic, Klain said Fauci is facing a new challenge: He’s the only member of the administration willing or able to speak plainly about the threat of the virus, in Klain’s view.

Fauci “respects the public,” Klain said. “He has this view that the public can handle the truth, whether it’s good news or bad news and the most important thing is to give people the best information he has at the time. Tony is left being the one person having to carry the weight of speaking honestly about all this stuff.”
