Ann Demeulemeester

Fashion is not only about personal style, it can also be about making a statement. Fashion has the unique ability to influence our moods, change our thinking and advance the concept of ‘beautiful’. The idea that clothing can be both provocative and functional is an ideal Ann Demeulemeester has embraced since launching her fashion label in 1992.

The Fashion Designer

Ann Demeulemeester is a Belgian-born designer, educated at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Since graduating and producing her first collection, she has won the eye of fashion’s elite. Her unique style and willingness to play with fantasy, puts an easily-recognizable stamp on her work. Her gothic, punk inspired pieces stand out on the runway while her structured creations are winning the favour of anyone willing to push the fashion envelope.

The Style

Ann Demeulemeester designs clothes that have clear influences in the gothic and Japanese cultures. At the same time, her clothing is romantic and sophisticated. Sticking to a dark palette, Demeulemeester’s style is almost instantly recognizable. Her clothes are often structured impeccably, featuring cinched waists, asymmetrical hemlines and high necklines. She plays with the hard and soft lines by pairing leather with shine, knit and softer, flowy fabrics.

Though the structured look gives off a tough vibe, her clothing also flows beautifully. Her womenswear collections celebrate a woman’s body with figure-flattering designs. Her dresses flatter a woman’s curves without exposing her. The result is a sophisticated sexiness with a tough-girl attitude edge.

She injects whimsy into a wardrobe that some would consider fit for a vampire. She features fabulous jackets, long pullovers, cropped trousers, and tons of layers. Ann Demeulemeesters look is at once slouchy and sophisticated.
