Dries Van Noten himself expressed confidence in Klausner, stating, “His deep understanding of the brand and its values will ensure a seamless transition and a bright future.”
With a legacy rooted in poetic design and innovative storytelling, the brand’s future under Klausner promises a harmonious blend of heritage and new ambition.
