Dear Shaded Viewers,

Stefano Gallici, the creative director of Ann Demeulemeester, unveiled his latest collection yesterday at Espace des Blancs Manteaux. Known for infusing the brand’s iconic style with fresh, youthful energy, Gallici’s collections often blend nostalgia with contemporary flair, drawing inspiration from genres like punk, indie, and garage rock.

As I watched the Ann Demeulemeester show, I couldn’t help but feel the presence of Lenny Kravitz in the sleek leather looks adorned with metal grommets. This season, Gallici’s mood was that of a wanderer, both physically and emotionally—a theme that resonated deeply in the accompanying catalogue. The designs reflect his personal memories and a desire to craft pieces that feel instantly familiar and worn, like treasured favorites.

The collection combines delicate fabrics with edgier elements such as leather and distressed shearling. I particularly appreciated the idea that fabrics and colors evolve over time, much like blue denim turning brown or white shirts fading to ivory. The “lived-in” feel of the garments harks back to those instant favorites in your closet. Gallici’s vision emphasizes transformation and self-discovery, with clothing that tells a story of personal growth and experience. His designs often incorporate raw emotion and a rebellious spirit, reflecting his deep connection to music.

Later,

Diane
