Collection: Ann Demeulemeester

Ann Demeulemeester Archive Menswear Collection

Belgian designer Ann Demeulemeester emerged as a defining voice in fashion after graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp and gaining prominence as a member of the iconic “Antwerp Six”. With the launch of her label in 1985, she cultivated an aesthetic rooted in contrast — minimal yet expressive, aristocratic yet rebellious. The marque became known for its poetic interplay of tailoring, drape, black‑and‑white palettes, and influences drawn from rock, poetry and deconstruction. Over the decades, her work transcended seasons: long coats, layered knits, fluid dresses, tailored trousers and androgynous silhouettes became hallmarks. The brand’s identity is one of nuance — combining romantic rigour with subtle edge, making clothes that feel deeply personal yet timeless. This archive collection presents rare runway pieces and signature garments from the Ann Demeulemeester era — draped black jackets, tailored trousers with unexpected cuts, leathers layered over silks, and accessories imbued with a dark elegance. For collectors drawn to intellectual tailoring, gothic romanticism, and fashion with depth, these pieces are more than clothes—they’re wearables of narrative and attitude.
