great thread, guys. it's like annie d waistcoat appreciation day. :) i also like ann's waistcoats and admire how despite the different directions she goes on from one season to another, the soul of the design is consistent and unmistakenly her own. you guys have inspired me to make ss09 my first 'ann waistcoat season' - i've entertained the idea of getting before but never pulled - now time to figure out which one. it looks to me like this season includes one waistcoat which harks a return of the slimmer ss03 style faust posted (http://i39.tinypic.com/2814f3n.jpg) but with the twist of a different color back and back straps (is that the right word them?) - saw this in the AR rag buy pdf posted in another thread. there's also the symmetrical cotton waist coat with the single center button closure as seen on LVR (http://tinyurl.com/99xmze).

Tell you what - I never even remotely considered buying a waistcoat. I mean, it did not even enter my sartorial vocabulary. But Ann made me change my mind.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Fantastic thread, Chant. Would be great if people could post themselves wearing the waistcoats they own.
Faust, those images from the 03 shows are so good!!...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

Aren't they?! Makes me want more vintage Ann. Everything 03-05 is untouchable.

good thread, thanks guys for the great pics
Ann D is pretty awesome with the waistcoat and showing the seemingly infinite ways to wear one - I did not catch what Chant mentioned about there only being 3 variations, might have to look again. The womens looks are especially great, very nice execution in layering/varied length.
