Ann Demeulemeeters

 

 

 

Signature look: an unstructured jacket cinched at the back, shown this season with a draped and cowled blouse and narrow cropped trousers, it border son evangelical

Wants to stay away from the merry-go-round of main stream fashion,

“my life is so mixed with my profession that I don’t know were I begin or end”

One of the Antwerp six,

Works mostly in black and white with flashes of colour,

High attention to detail

Like to build long term looks which withstand the test of time rather then passing trends,
