Ann Demeulemeester was one of the Antwerp Six which firmly placed Belgium on the international map of fashion in the 1980s.
Demeulemeester’s silhouettes are typified by contrast: smooth and extensively treated leather is often juxtaposed against heavy woollen sections. She also enjoys incorporating masculine and feminine shapes into one and the same outfit. A Time Magazine fashion reporter once described her garments as exuding “a very great deal of genuineness”. Demeulemeester herself remains modest: “I like simple silhouettes. In much the same way as I would wrap a table, I want to wrap girls”. |
