          LOVE Fall 03 so much. Especially the 4th & 2nd to last looks here.
          (I have a hard time favoring between this and Fall 08, mainly because of all the purple in the latter.)

              Indeed. I missed a lot of these gems back then - thank god for collection blanche.

                Brilliant!
                That was certainly one of her masterpieces.
                Thanks for the reminder.

                  I was recently introduced to Ms. Demeulemeesters work through her latest menswear fashion show, and I have to say I'm obsessed! I love her juxtaposition between draped and fitted & rough and delicate.



                  Also, for some reason I felt some sort of connection with her latest pieces and BPs oil spill. I doubt that that her intentions were to make a commentary on the horrors of this, but her use of what seemed to be a varnished leather for rain boots and to suffocate, delicate, sometimes plastic (?), draped garments just made me go there.

                  Hopefully you guys like it .

                          Those shoes from '88 would still perfectly make the test of time - they look very beautifully cut and I love the lacing with what looks like double the amount of eyelets and the skinnier laces. I think Mrs. Sander might approve as well...

                          Anyway, I also thought her AW' 2003 was one of her best-balanced collections, in which all the painterly influences, the historism next to the punk were all played out in the most subtle way... Much prefer her expressing that side of her oeuvre on the runway over when she goes all peasant-style, or in case of her last menswear, completely into the concept of her inspiration as with all those fencing inspired pieces, which I'm not too sold to. Anyway, a runway is always only as good as it backs up in separate pieces and she consistently delivers those every season, no matter how it is styled on the runway.

                            Table Blanche by Ann Demeulemeester.

                            This table has the virginity of unpainted canvas. I wanted to return to the pure form of a table, like a child would draw it.
