Cousin Itt-Inspired Coats

The Avant-Garde Ann Demeulemeester 2011 Fall Show

There are times when one wants to get noticed, and if this is the case you might want to check out the gallery of photos from the Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2011 fashion week show. This collection is a hodgepodge of goth, punk and heavy-metal rocker -- but if these themes aren't dark enough for a fall or winter wardrobe, just add some of the Addams Family's cousin Itt.

Long monkey-hair coats were high fashion in the 1940s, and they seem to have been replaced with goat hair for the Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2011 collection. This year's show featured many designers who showed 40s-inspired silhouettes, so it only makes sense to see more from the Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2011 show. The difference between the monkey fur coats and today's looks -- aside from the type of hair -- are the slender bodies and floor length of many of the coats.
