For Ann Demeulemeester, fashion is a form of communication. Her complex language of contrasts covers a whole gamut of emotions. The  tension is highly poetic – her clothes reveal many layers of « soul ». They are simple, the way a knife is simple. Serious but never severe, meticulous but experimental, strong but always sensual.
