Despite show­ing spring’s col­lec­tion in her typ­i­cal go to col­ors – black and white, the recent show­ing from Ann Demeule­meester felt strangely dark. Most likely attrib­uted to the mono­chrome styling of the range, this season’s col­lec­tion were lay­ered within an inch of its life, forc­ing the eye to do the extra work in efforts to dis­sect the ensem­bles.
