Going softer for Fall 2010, like day and night, Ann Demeulemeester transforms her shirtless Spring 2010 fighters back into refined rockers. A running concept with Ann since the beginning.

Breaking down most of Demeulemeester’s works, you will come to find that her spring collections are typically more hard-edge, while fall will always leaves you wrapped in warmth, with the same attitude that we have always come to expect. Almost like, a fight in spring and reconciliation in fall. In a Color palette similar to that of Fall 2009, the Belgian designer raises waists, typing them off with leather belts that featured leather tassels, braiding, and other little trinkets.

Though, it’s not exactly the drop-crotch that seemed to take over in 2009, Demeulemeester’s new pant is roomier towards the top and more slim-fit at the bottom. Paired off with a combat boot that comes in an array of styles, from those that tie and zip at the side to the standard lace-up.

The collection was low on prints, but this season’s key pattern is a stripe. A stripe that revamped classic suits, making them more modern and something that would even not make you come off as up tight if you were to were it out with friends on the randomest of nights.

But, if you were to make an investment in something unexpected, you should now get yourself a cape and something the makes for a build up around your neck. While it was feathers at the show’s close, furs and scarves also did the job, as capes were made casual and cool once more.
