The black and white at Demeulemeester always caught my eye, but this time around I was even more intrigued by the glitter aspect of the show. The hint of sheen in the womens shirt livens up the classic pant suit and the glossy black sandals for men are so much fun that I wish they made them for women! I love how her shirt is draped. It speaks of a woman with luxurious bedding and the most creative inclinations, the result of rolling out of bed with a fabulous shirt.
These black ensemble would speak for themselves, but the beaded accessories ensure that they do not go unheard! Although the shoes are not my favorite (those straps look incredibly uncomfortable, and the soles look like they were part of rubber boots in their past lives), the beaded turtleneck necklaces are right up my alley.
Adding a little fringe to the beads was the next logical step, of course, and the result is no less appealing. The menswear in this collection is a nice little break, and the buttoning here is a great twist of imagination. The little white tutu brings in the bedlinen draping that I enjoyed so much of this collection, while the final dress and blazer ensemble takes the idea to the next level. The chandelier necklace is so dainty that it just looks penciled onto the shirt. How wonderfully simplistic and decadent at the same time! Now if only I could 'pencil in' a chandelier necklace into my wardrobe...source: ann demeulmeester spring 2009 at style.com
