The Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2013 collection furthers the Belgium designers penchant for elegant gowns. She has here channeled a Halloween-appropriate spirit with dresses fit for a contemporary sorceress.
Trails of sheer fabric followed the Demeulemeester models as they strutted down a clean ivory catwalk. The icon drew inspiration from the shapes and movement of butterflies who have the abilities to rest statically and fly about. Much like the bugs, the women take on a floating quality with the hovering pieces of fabric.
This billowing Spring 2013 line is also quite futuristic. The criss-crossed pieces of leather are bound tightly around the contours of the body, mocking the styles of galactic apparel as they are found in science fiction films and novels.
