Ann Demeulemeester

Established among fashion’s avant-garde and counted among the illustrious Antwerp Six, Belgian artist-turned-designer Ann Demeulemeester founded her namesake label in 1986. After taking over for the beloved brand’s founder, designer Sébastien Meunier carries on Demeulemeester’s winning womenswear tropes: stark silhouettes in exclusively subdued hues, often reliant on black and white and styled monochromatically. Lustrous leathers and silks give gothic glamour to voluminous draped dresses, menswear-inspired shirts, slouchy trousers, and deconstructed blazers with asymmetrical detailing.
