Dries Van Noten rented a large warehouse in the 11th arrondissement of Paris to hold his Spring/Summer 2016 men's collection.

The collection was titled "Dada Dandy." It was inspired by an imaginary conversation between surrealist Salvador Dalí and actress Marilyn Monroe. It was also dotted with elements symbolic of artists such as Elsa Schiaparelli, Elvis Presley, and John Lydon.

Lobster embroidery, a signature of couturier Elsa Schiaparelli, adorns the bodice of jackets, Hawaiian motifs reminiscent of Elvis Presley appear on pants and shirts, and tartan checks reminiscent of Sex Pistols vocalist John Lydon adorn pants and jackets.

In response to these motifs, the background music used was the B-52's "Rock Lobster," Presley's "Love Me Tender," and songs by John Lydon's later band, P.I.L. American casual items mixed with Marilyn Monroe's dark side showed a unique beauty, bringing out new sides to these icons of the past while also expressing Doris's signature elegance.
