Dandy-meulemeester


>>Ann Demeulemeester, Men's Fall/Winter 2010. This season was a portrait of a confident modern dandy melded with her signature air of goth. In true dandy form, the clothes were styled to exuded a fine aesthetic-driven nonchalance. The collection had an overall sense of flamboyance represented by coats wrapped and adorned in cock feathers, feather scarfs, camel capes, leather gloves, relaxed draped casually-belted coats, and leather cargo pants. (Leather pants… the signature of a flamboyant man, no?) Shirt cuffs that extend well past blazer's sleeve that were paired with low necked vests reminding me of the Giovanni Boldini portrait of 19th century dandy Robert de Montesquiou. It was refreshing to see very loose trousers—seemingly with no belt loops—that were plainly gathered at the waist by belts holding them in place. My faves were the relaxed draped coats and loose trousers.
