DESCRIPTION:Apr 25 - Oct 4\, 2026\nDries Van Noten spent four decades build
 ing a singular career in fashion. He was not interested in a licensing emp
 ire\, logo mania\, or celebrity strategies. He just made extraordinary clo
 thes shaped by an obsessive attention to fabric\, print\, and history. Van
  Noten retired in 2024\, handing his eponymous house to a successor\, and 
 almost immediately created a foundation. Its first presentation now takes 
 place during the Biennale\, in a 15th-century Venetian palazzo\, and bring
 s together more than 200 pieces of couture\, jewelry\, ceramics\, glass\, 
 design\, and art. The title derives from a song by the activist folk singe
 r Phil Ochs\, and the premise is one Van Noten has long advanced: Beauty i
 s not a retreat from the world but a way of confronting it.
