Here’s another product that would benefit from the tangible. As owners of mohair pieces will know, it’s a ridicolously soft material; the sort of thing you’ll spend ages rubbing yourself against. And as owners of mohair will also know, it does have a habit of leaving bits of itself everywhere – but that’s a price we have to pay sometimes. The things we do for fashion. (Farfetch)

Like Junya Watanabe, Ann Demeulemeester has been doing her thing in a relatively quiet way for years now. Her collections aren’t fawned over like, say, Lanvin’s are – but they’ve retained an aesthetic to which her customers have grown accustomed to.

Interview magazine teams her up with Jamie Del Moon, one of her models, for a short interview. We find out that Demeulemeester has her family backstage (her parents haven’t missed a show yet) and that she has a new collection coming out where she reissues key pieces from previous collections. When asked about it, she replied:

“It’s called Collection Blanche, or White Collection. It’s white because it’s blank, without any identifying dates. I did it because people kept saying things like, “Oh, I loved those trousers. Can’t you make ones like them again?” Or, “I love my jacket, but it’s falling apart. I want the same one.” It’s because certain pieces of clothing become like friends. They become a part of your life. You can’t stand it if, all of a sudden, they are gone. I wanted to do this collection because it was like going back and finding old friends for me, too. It was great to go through the archives and say, “Wow, why don’t we make this again?”

We’ve been saying this but we’ll say it again – we’re all about the card holders. A nice small wallet is good, but due to the fact that we only carry cards nowadays, we’re losing our use for them. With a card holder just put all your cards in there and you’re good to go. It slims down the pocket and, more importantly, will help you avoid that wallet fade in your denim. Price-wise, it’s a bit lower than you’d expect for an Ann D piece – but it’s still a long way from cheap. (The Corner)

With the oversized trend not looking to go away any time soon, now’s the time to stock up on quality knitwear. This Ann Demeulemeester cardigan is available at 50% off and is worth every penny/cent. While the sizing and colour on this piece make it a standout piece, the factor that makes it a must buy is the material – we can’t overstate how buttery soft it is. It feels so good, you’ll want to throw out the rest of your knitwear. Get it from Farfetch.

Ann Demeulemeester makes sneakers and they look good but we do have some difficulty with their crushingly high pricepoint. We agree that the cross braid stitching on the ivory based high top is a nice touch and that the mesh on the low certainly warrants consideration… but the 870$US pricepoint puts it at the very high end of the sneaker game, which is clearly their intended market. Get them now from AR.

There is no shortage of the letter “e” in the title for this hat. Belgian hat designer, Elvis Pompilio, worked with  Ann Demeulemeester on this melusine hat. Made in Belgium from 100% wool, the hat comes at a premium rate, just like all Demeulemeester’s good. Hold on tight – 1175$US from AR. Woah.

To get the factory ready distressed look is not an easy feat. We’ve seen enough mishaps in distressed denim and t-shirts to make us stop and re-examine the purpose of distressing. But when it is done well, it works. These high-top sneakers from Ann Demeulemeester are a great example of properly executed distressed fashion. The black and brown leather rises up to the mid calf and looks as if they have been out riding in a Nevada sandstorm for decades. Well done and available from Browns. (via supertalk).

A pair of fabulous distress leather boots from Ann Demeulemeester. We love the extra long tongue and lacings on these as well as the over-sized fit. 100% Italian leather and available now from Aloha Rag for a mere 1295$US.
