Ann Demeulemeester Retrospective

[Lois Grüveltner]

Anyone know where to buy the book within Europe?

DSM London are having the signing with Ann this Saturday, but I ordered mine off Amazon. There are a few sellers on there, hopefully some should still be in stock.

As I mentioned last page Foyles have it in and do mailorder

/\ This is maybe a stupid question but if you order it from Foyles will you avoid taxes - I'm asking since it sounds like they'll ship it directly from USA?

[gawkrodger]

haven't a clue

DSM today

Definitely looking forward to receiving my copy. Wish I could be there for the signing

Thanks for the pic, gawkrodger.

Arrived on Friday, absolutely worth owning for anyone who is a fan of her work. The delicate paper stock was the perfect choice for a book this size and weight (it's about 7lbs), it makes it very easy to browse through and not have to hold back pages or ruin the binding; when it's open to a page it will stay there.

Only complaint would be that the photos could have been larger, though the layout as is is beautiful and understated.

two quick photos from DSM today

Ann and Patti Smith





Her husband and son were also present.

I'll stick up a few more photos if anyone is interested

[gawkrodger]

And ID magazine Instagram is worth having a look at as they have some vids of a little speach by Ann, book reading and acoustic 'set' by Patti Smith, both of which I missed

Edit: and PJ Harvey! How did I miss this!

I'll stick up a few more photos if anyone is interested

Please do! All of them.
Thank you.

WOW that book is thick! I need this in my life to deal w my mourning

Yes please more photos, gawkrodger! Thanks for these :)

[gawkrodger]

here's a few more. Fairly poor quality, have a gander on IG for better

My copy just came in. It's A LOT thicker than what pictures depict it to be.
One picture per paper, so this explains why the book is so big. No double sided prints. Every collection up to S/S14 is in there. Visually, the book is nice, however it's disappointing to see that anything past that is not in the book. I was really looking forward to seeing pictures and descriptions of her atelier, the team, inspiration for each collection, as well as the process.
