I love Suzy's review, from IHT:

"Hermann Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game" was an intellectual discourse from an aging literary lion. The iconic German author might seem an unlikely inspiration but Ann Demeulemeester - give or take a literal rendition of glass bead necklaces - produced a subtle, respectful and thought-provoking collection about "the art of growing older," as she put it poetically backstage.

So the young men, with their swashbuckling fedoras, pants rolled up calf-high under their sinuous black jackets, embraced graphic inky dots of black on beige and made the quintessential style of the Belgian designer look intellectual but spiffy. But then old age fell and the clothes became pale and limpid - weather-beaten hats and gauzy coats draped over fragile figures, as if walking to the book's ivory tower of intellectuals. The vision was touching - and proof that fashion need not end with the onset of old age. "

Actually, he is a very likely inspiration (and not the first time in that neck of the woods)! Well, that's interesting for sure.

Oh, yea?! How? BTW, I gotta tell my friend about the Glass Bead Game. It's his favorite book.

I think it's also the fact that the season was so weak that those Ann's jackets look mighty swell, no matter how similar they look to those of the few previous seasons.

i dont know what's with the sandal phobia. just buy a pair of sandals and wear it. simple as that. we cant be beautifying our foot every time we wear sandals right?

Weird, the collection was supposed to be based on the Glassbead Game, but the tshirts feature antique covers of Narcissus and Goldmund.

the hats would look a little strange to wear out.
