This limited edition dress is part of Dries Van Noten’s Autumn/Winter 2008 collection. The marbled print was created using a printing technique invented by Orbis Worth in the 1920s, which involves the use of wax-covered cylinders. As the wax cylinder is destroyed in its use, each print is thus unique and cannot be reproduced.
