Ann Demeulemeester
This season is looking more senusual than previous ones. Between the silk pants and robes, and the models’ bedroom eyes, sensuality definitely overpowered the usual “badassness” that is usually evoked from an Ann Demeulemeester garment. Embellishment also played a vital role. The lapels of some of the jackets were adorned with sequins/beads, as were the yellowish cardigans (which I initially thought was leapord print, and proceeded to gasp for air). There was also a boxer vibe in the collection, proving that the masculine, badass element will continue to go on strong fo Ms. Demeulemeester. The collection was not as dramatic as past seasons, but her design DNA was still very much embedded in each piece.

Miharayasuhiro
Part tattered, part rugged and entirely amazing. The collection was deconstructed, off, and layered to perfection. Hues ranged from sand to blue, and army green to black. There was so much depth in the collection with Yasuhiro’s ripped and shredded tops, giving off the feeling of toughness in its purest form. So many elements were packed into the collection but nothing ever went over your head. You get a clear sense of what Yasuhiro is trying to do this season and it is clear that all his little design details all work to build a cohesive and well thought out series of looks.
