Ann Demeulemeester launched her eponymous fashion label in 1987, emphasizing a unique and darkly poetic aesthetic characterized by monochromatic palettes and unconventional tailoring. Her designs often blended elements of romance, poetry, and avant-garde fashion, exploring the delicate interplay between masculinity and femininity. Since her departure from the label in 2013, Sébastien Meunier did a stunning job of continuing her legacy—unlike some of the successors who followed. These particular boots are among the most recognizable designs from Ann’s archive; reissued multiple times over the years in various leathers and styles, this version features textured cowhide leather, a corset-style back lacing system, and a rugged hiking sole.
