For Fall/Winter 2008-09, Belgium designer Ann Demeulemeester (part of the Antwerp Six) presented a charmingly poetic collection.
Set to the soundtrack of various renditions of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, including his own, Demeulemeester contrasted a dark, Gothic tailoring viewpoint with lovely floral prints.
The first look set the tone with a solemn preachy looking model walking out with strap fringes hanging from his jacket and trousers. An almost puritanical vibe seemed referenced through the hats and starkly black color used.
This was soon contrasted with a floral vibe that came through with flowers attached to hats and a pink, green, purple and lilac print that was used in jackets, vests and trousers.
A collection which made use of heavy layering had it’s standout in the form of waistcoats with distinctly crimped lapels and collars perfect for layering or as a solo statement.
MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
