clean construction

gilt chain detailing and interlocking double-C were the house's foregrounded codes

Multicoloured fringed braid runs down the opening and around the hem

A skirt from Prada's Spring/Summer 2002 collection

Ann Demeulemeester 2001SS Skirt clean constructionA Spring Summer 2001 skirt from Ann Demeulemeester, designed by the founder during the house's peak period. By this point the label's signatures were fully formed: asymmetric cuts, draped fabric, leather harnessing, and a monochrome palette with occasional ivory or oxblood. The work remained Ann Demeulemeester's own throughout these seasons.
