Ann Demeulemeester Men's SS12 - Paris

[MikeN]

I was at this show and I saw a different presentation than this. I thought the show was kind of meh, but these photos look amazing! Based on the photos alone I'd say this is the strongest collection of Paris thus far. Ann hasn't really had a "miss" in a long time though. Wish I could say the same about ANY of the other designers we discuss here!

wow, super strong collection

[jdemotion]

Really like this, in my opinion a lot stronger than her past few spring collections. I especially like the last three looks with the floral-esque brooches. Can't wait to see videos...

What's the name of the one who's co-designing the menswear with her?
I forgot.

Footwear is the best part of this show.

I still feel weird looking at the shots because of the background. I immediately thought of Haider Ackermann when I saw the first outfit with the background.

i can see why ppl like this , for me nahhhh . i mean its ok , its decent but idk not really feelin it but im not like fanboy over ann , theres always stuff i like each season but i dont often get too excited . seems like way too much layerin here for summerwear , if it werent for the sandals and cropped trousers i mite think this was for fw

Peeps, don't forget you are looking at flash photography. The runway was nothing like this in real life. It was soft and warm and wet. Ok, I will stop.

A very beautiful collection !
Whatever much better than the SS11 collection and about same level of excellence than the memorable AW11/12 collection.
Ann, I love you!

What I like the most about this collection are the strong and a bit wider shoulders.

I've seen a lot of short jackets this season, good for us not too tall, I love them.

[Faust]

This collection is fantastic. Went to the showroom and, taken apart, it's gorgeous. The fabrics are absolutely amazing. I was getting a bit tired with all the washed saggy cottons, and I am glad that is gone. More structure, more luxurious feeling, very solid construction of the jackets, fantastic pants and knits - really well done. There was one fabric that I just wanted to keep petting - it was this luxurious silk with rose pattern (white on white, very subtle), but washed and partially destroyed. I would be just happy with a swatch of that.

And, ladies, the new Collection Blanche will make you swoon. My f-ing god.

Will post photos when I get a chance.

looking forward to seeing some non runway pictures of the collection. right now it really, really didn't do anything (positive) for me. siding with interest1 right now.

In a few days when I get home.

I don't personally get the love for the footwear...but I like how the colour of the catwalk made things seem a bit more vibrant (even if that has nothing to do with the clothing itself).

I prefer this season than previoius, especially the footwears. I haven't seen such expressive ann dem for long time
