I feel like I haven’t paid enough attention to Ann Demeulemeester in the past few years. I have always had immense respect for her work, but I haven’t followed it very closely. She is part of the Antwerp Six (which I talked about in this blog post) and although this menswear collection is very “fashion”, there are some very strong pieces.
I Adore…
this coat, even though its tied way too tight around the waist.
the collar on the top, the accessories and the boots.
the fur neckpiece. I want one.
one of the first fur coats I have have seen this season that don't look too "pimp."
the layers, the drapes, and the general feel of deconstructivism.
this rock look. Almost every designer is trying to do ROCK (unless they are doing SPORT) but this one looks authentic and effortless and actually cool.
I Loathe…
paper bag waists on men.
the shape of these trousers.
feather boas for men. It's taking the rock look to far into the world of goth.
