Ann Demeulemeester shows that she is not a one dimensional designer by expressing her soft side with a collection that was loose, flowing and romantic with a menswear twist. Black was not the only main color which she is known for. Ivory and a blushing were added and held a great balance of weight and space. The layers were gauzy and had a great sense of tailoring and the floppy hats gave a nice floating feeling. There were a combination of wide-leg pants and embroidered jackets, caftan like gowns and sheer robes dramatically swept over wide-leg pants with silk fringed tassels around the neckline and back, an effect that continued throughout whether making a statement or a simple accent. This collection was more than hippie chic. It was modern elegance done the Demeulemeester way.
