Creative director, Dries Van Noten

Julian Klausner

Canadian

Designer who joined Dries Van Noten in Antwerp in 2018 and worked directly with the founder, eventually co-leading the women's collections. After Dries Van Noten retired in 2024, Puig promoted him to creative director of both menswear and womenswear in December 2024; his first women's show followed in March 2025, mixing archive references with his own softer, playful sensibility.
