Paris: Fashion great Dries Van Noten will be presenting his very last show in Paris on Saturday to end a glittering 40-year career.
The universally respected Belgian, nicknamed the "Flemish master of fashion", took everyone by surprise when he announced his decision to quit this year.
Few fashion designers retire at the age of 66 in good shape and with a healthy business, as he recently told the New York Times.
"I feel it's time to leave room for a new generation of talents to bring their vision to the brand," he wrote in an open letter on Instagram.
He went on to say that he wanted to enjoy all the things he never had the time to do.
