Ann Demeulemeester 2014FW Coat with Dries Van Noten leading

with Dries Van Noten leading every collection himself across the label's first decades

grounded in Bauhaus and modernist architecture

A blazer from Comme des Garçons Homme Plus

and a palette dominated by black with occasional ivory

Deconstruction and deep monochrome dressing are enduring house signatures

Ann Demeulemeester 2014FW Coat with Dries Van Noten leadingA coat from the house Ann Demeulemeester, dating to the Autumn Winter 2014 season. This was the first collection following founder Ann Demeulemeester's departure in November 2013, and the solo debut of Sbastien Meunier as Artistic Director. Meunier retained the house's lean, monochrome silhouette while taking creative direction in his own hand.
