Ann Demeulemeester is heralded as one of the Antwerp Six (a group of designers from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts) who, with their avant-garde approach to design in the 80s, founded the school and themselves as true arbiters of innovation. Launched in 1985, Ann Demeulemeester has consistently attracted clients who like a little art in their wardrobe. Mixing varied fabrics then often slashing, ripping, and tearing them, a slouchy masculinity is Demeulemeester’s signature. Often in a moody palette of brown, grey, and black, you can rely on Demeulemeester for directional classics.
