Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2009
Bringing us one of the many glorious collections of the day was Ms. Demeulemeester, who has answered my prayers with this collection. The amount of jealously I felt when the men's collection had pony hair boots and body-engulfing knits is indescribable... as is the amount of joy I felt when I laid eyes on this. Because as it turns out, she has not forgotten her ovary-clad brethren, after all... and we, too, get a chance to partake in the heaven that must be wearing pony hair riding boots made by the mother of all equestrian boot makers. I love the sex appeal that this collection gives off, with the super bondage inspired leather corsets as well as the binding going on with some of the pieces as well. I think that mixing overtly sexy with masculine pieces alw...

Ann Demeulemeester Mens Fall 2009
I really loved Ann's menswear collection this year, and I guess if you've looked at the images above, it is no surprise why. The overall mood is so romantic without being cheesy; it's reall lovely. Also, I think this collection is a step in the right direction for her, as I was getting quite bored with the whole purple thing that kept continuing over. While this is very much the Ann we all know and love, it is a notch above what she's been doing (in both her men's and women's lines) for the last couple of years. The color palette is a dream and couldn't be more suited to the pieces themselves. I really like all of the jackets she's shown here. While they're nothing new, they're perfectly suited for the vibe she's created with this collection. Also, the fabr...

Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2009
inaya404 30 September 2008 @ 02:38 pm Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2009 Such a surprising collection from Ann this season! I love her but I am so glad she took on a re-invention of sorts this Spring. Her last collection was great, because her work is great, but it was getting to be very same-y without much expansion. She's really outdone herself here... while breathing much new life into her aesthetic, she's managed to keep the core of what, for many, Ann D. is all about (which is something many other designers could take a cue from). The color palette is really varied; I'm not the biggest fan of that orange but boy am I glad it's in there. The stripes are always something I love to see popping up in her clothes because I just love how she works them. Accessori...

Mens F/W 08.09
Much like in the Ann Demeulemeester collection shown above, this print also reminds me of marble or some other similar type of stone. The third look here, I just thought it was a nice, sleek suit. I always love a small turtleneck with a ...
