也許你會認為今次 Ann Demeulemeester 群龍無首的設計,但卻意外地給予大眾驚喜。創意總監 Sebastien Meunier 去年離職後,品牌由轉賣給 New Guards Group 的聯合創辦人 Claudio Antonioli ,其下更有 Off-White、County of Milan和Ambush 等品牌。而 Claudio Antonioli 作為 Ann Demeulemeester 粉絲的他,決定恢復安特衛普以前的暗黑浪漫光輝。

與此同時,位於安特衛普歷史悠久的 Ann Demeulemeester 在去年9月悄悄關門進行裝修,而裝修門外寫着“New Beginning”,因此當時 Claudio Antonioli 便重新招募內部設計團隊,並把生產線轉移至意大利,並在 Ann Demeulemeester 本人的商討下,做出保留和維護過往Antwerp Six 的原創精神。除了找來了 Ann Demeulemeester 平面設計師的兒子 Victor 改造品牌網站形象,更有一群新的幽靈設計團隊展現出品牌遺產。

在剛過去的星期日, Ann Demeulemeester 2022春夏系列在 Lycée Carnot 上演,彷彿擺脫了過去 Sebastien Meunier 留下的波希米亞和華麗的風格,奪回 Ann Demeulemeester 的核心美學,而嚴格的黑白色設計只採用了牛仔和皮革,讓人回想起1990年代比利時時裝盛勢。

如果仔細留意的話,模特兒臉上的出現手寫  “love is an action” 和 “tell your children your dreams” 等法文字句,這更與白色裙子上印花設計同出一徹,原來這些筆跡都是出於 Ann Demeulemeester 自己的。當然在暗黑風格之中,少不了在 oversized 和中性輪廓中注入解構元素,如寬敞的西裝和厚實的袖口,則給予分離設計的效果,加強品牌標誌性的剪裁。最後便是借鑑了1998系列的 holy tank top 的設計,呼應出品牌對細節的執著和造型的精心設計。

看來這個系列是為年輕人而設,重新感受到這塊簡約的淨土包含着大量2020年代的慵懶,而背後則承載着鞏固的基礎和歷史。
