Ann Demeulemeester Mens FW08-09 Paris

[Jorge Hache]

First pics from the collection

[Faust]

I can finally articulate my problem with her aesthetic since the first stand alone mens shoe - it's become way too effeminate. There seem to be lots of great individual pieces though. However, I've already learned not to get excited until I see this in stores (FW07 also looked great on the runway).

business as usual.. until I saw the 4th pic. wtf? I like color as well but it just strikes me as completely clashing. Reminds me of when julius did that flower print blazer. Hope the rest of the collection isn't like that!

That first and second look are great...now I'm eagerly awaiting more.

That dude looks (and is dressed) like Perry Farrell.

Ann doing color again!! I love it so far. (that purple on the neckline is a bit much though)

yessssss the hats are back!!!!! i actually realllllllllllllllly like it. especially love the hats.

[philip nod]

its cool, this helps me remember my grandmother and my first girlfriend.

I really enjoy this as well. The colors go perfectly together and I even enjoy the prints. A good departure from the all black and white collections and definitely an upgrade from the Dada references in SS08.

I think it's certainly nice to see something so different from the unfortunate Dada collection, but man... I really can't get with the prints. I have to say, I think this collection is "passable" at best. I think after this I can say with more-or-less certainty that Dries had my favorite collection of this season.

its so poetic like my heart is a flower and ann demeulemeester is its pith.

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

I'm utterly relieved!. I really love this. This speaks volumes to me.

The color palette is beautiful. And yes to the hats!

Demeulemeester and Doma is so far the best I have seen! [64]

Edit: Add Gaultier to those two!

I think I could wear the flower print trousers without looking supergay.... am I crazy?

love the boots a lot too. and the pinstripe trousers.

I wonder if she's doing the oversized shirts again? can't tell with all of them tucked in.

[lowrey]

my first impression is that I really hate that pattern especially since its on quite a few different looks..

is thisthread making a duplicate of itself..? theres two with the same replies
