Collection Blanche by Ann Demeulemeester.

[Pinoy]

Chris, you will piss your pants. Ann is redoing some of the Twilight collection :-)

Faust, have you heard if Ann is still keeping Collection Blanche for women exclusively or will she be redoing any menswear?

here's to wishful thinking...

[Faust]

Womens only. But there are pieces you can use - tees in large sizes fit a size small and they are not feminine cuts, there is a scarf also, a belt with chains like I have, and I can easily fit the riding boots in a big women's size.

Who is carrying this stuff in the West Coast?

[Faust]

Barneys in NYC has it, so check the LA and SF branches.

[Faust]

Bump for interest1.

By the way, Barneys has one piece from the twilight collection - a long black chiffon top with star prints.

[Faust]

Checked out the new season today. Dropped my jaw from happiness that Ann reissued the slim pants with straps on the knees!!!! I am totally getting them. She also reissued the pants I have from FW02 - the ones with buttons on legs to make them slimmer - amazing piece and still one of my favorite pants. Some other gorgeous stuff as well, including the rider boot and small washed leather wallets.

Thanks Faust for the details on what's coming next. I can't wait to see what else there is!

I can't wait to get to New York in February.

I'm really happy that Ann has been doing the Blanche collection. A good design should be relevant for more than one season.

I was able to get a new holy tanktop to replace my original one and I also got the holy tank with the silver print. I'm happy to see the star prints in the new collection, but I hope she remakes her lightweight denim jeans again as mine are threadbare. It will be great to see and touch things in New York. Glad I can fit into the women's sizes.

Antonioli has it online, I believe. I think Pollyanna should pick it up, forgot to ask Mark today about that. Too busy drinking....

I had a full stocklist somewhere, but not sure if I'll be able to find it.

Also pants from FW02 (I have the original) that have buttons on the legs to make them slimmer (like waist tabs, but on legs, really neat), some blazers with straps on sleeves and some beautiful jewelry, a rider boot, small bags and small washed leather wallets. There was more, but I can't remember.

houseofids, yesterday i got the star print long sleeve and a scarf. standby for some little prince steez in waywt when i get back to new york tomorrow.

Luisa via Roma also has a couple pieces right now.

this is an interesting idea, but i cant help but think that these re-issues are not as good as the originals. but maybe its just me.

[Faust]

/\ What makes you say that? They are direct copies of the originals, down to the fabric.

from experience of designing, I can tell you that sometimes re-issues are even better than the original because if there was a flaw or fail aspect in the original design, it can be improved upon /corrected when doing the reissue.........
