Ann Demeulemeester Men's SS11 Paris

[beardown]

I can very much appreciate the idea of an entire wardrobe of all black and white. Was it Buckminster Fuller who had only white and black clothes because it sped up the process of dressing?

Probably way off. Maybe it was Einstein.

Anyway, I always thought it would be cool if someone did a line of Star Wars meets the Civil War and this is kind of what the mens' line makes me think of. Good vs. Evil and all that in the most literal sense. Spy vs. Spy. Military inspired futuristic design.

Very solid, very inspiring.
I do miss some of the more billowy pieces Ann does so well. I don't really wear billowy but I love seeing it the way she pulls it off in the context of the rest of her presentation. She can do dark, classic and traditional without making those outfits look like costumes.

What can I say?
Always love seeing her new work and again, very inspiring across the board.

so she showed the white pieces, stopped a litle and then went with the blk? that's so cool. it's like she played a bit with the audience n their expectation what is Ann D.

Not with my expectations I guessed right away that there will be the black counterpart to the white.

Ann said that I know her work too well

[christianef]

me too.

:) so she lost her only chance to surprise! Now I will think that even if she will not show anything in blk next time, there will be blk in the showroom.

But it was cool anyway :)

[Faust]

These days there is also a bit of color in the showroom. This season Ann picked a very beautiful shade of washed out blueish gray.

[Faust]

These are a few of my favorite things...

That first fit looks like something I could happily live in for the rest of my life

[Johnny]

those clothes look really good, so much better than they appear on the runway. grey jacket is beautiful. i'm not seeing how the space boots fit in though.

[BSR]

to each his own, i only like the last one, which is really cool,
for some reason i can't see the appeal of ann footwear...
and i remember a very very very nice double-breasted jacket on the runaway, anyone has a pic (not the runaway one)?

[Avantster]

Great pics, the fabric on the grey jacket looks excellent. I also like the last jacket with the ruched detailing and roped standing collar.

[jamesd]

Also love that last jacket -- is it all cotton, do you remember Faust?

[Faust]

Yes, I was very tempted by it.
I don't remember the fabric, looked like washed cotton to me.

[MikeN]

love the jacket with the ruching on spine, but those higher boots are horrible. remind me of rick's ugly crepe sole boots.

[Castor]

Love the fashion cycle. Just finished buying S/S '10 on sale and already looking forward to a cotton fencing jacket for S/S '11. Oh, and haven't worn anything I bought for F/W '10 yet. Good God.

Must buy cotton fencing jacket.
