Ann Demeulemeester F/W 2022.23 Paris

So boring! I don’t know how they had the nerve of bringing an audience to watch this monotone procession of soulless clothes.

Where’s the poetry that made Ann Demeulemeester so recognizable? The mystery? The romance?

 

[Machinegumm]

This is the most bare bones collection. No theme, no ideas, not even interesting accessories.
If you have a very specific fetish for long coats this might be perfect for you, otherwise... hard pass.
C'mon Ann D isn't just "black clothes and some feathers occasionally idk." This is just sad.

Spending money on the PG cast & producing a live show just to show a bunch of anonymous looks?!?!

You know, I really didn’t hate this collection, I actually slightly enjoyed it.

The spirit of Ann D vanished the day she retired as the brands lead designer. Clearly when one person was as intertwined with the labels DNA as Ann was that is going to happen.

The design team here really focused on a sporty, almost athletic look that is seen through the roomy blazers, polo collars, and cut of the sleevless tops. Not to mention the white sneakers as well. Aside from offering more complex patterns, my only wish was they would have shortened the sleeves a tad bit on the jackets. That would have fed even more into the sporty look they were going for.

I find what they are providing to be enticing. It is as if they are reintroducing the brand for the next generation. Instead of romance we have practicality, rather than pushing a faux sense of poetry or intellect, they are engineering a look that is rather commercial, yet still viable due to the use of beautfiul textiles.

I like it too.

More so for a cast that look like they belong together and not just to satisfy a headcount. The offering could use an edit of about a dozen looks, or inject a jolt of deep crimson/electric blue to some looks to break the grey daze— and shown in a much more intimate. informal venue. But you know, after the burdensome, heinous display of cheaply constructed Marlboro Man leathers at VTMNTS, the supple, flowing leather looks here are thirst-quenching.

Demeulemeester seen through the eyes of marketing execs: "long black and grey coats with some hats...that´s Ann total look!"

Excuse me, but you forgot to design your collection. Thank you!

 

[Not Plain Jane]

it's serviceable minimalism
but there's no poetry
this is funereal

Did they really have to do so many similar looks?
