Post Paris XIX

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2013

1. Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion
2. Haider Ackermann by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin
3. Paolo Roversi for Interview Magazine June/July 2011

Apparently, Ann Demeulemeester was inspired by Hugh Hefner. Well presumably not. Still, there was a luxurious softcore feel reminiscent of the aesthetics of her bvba 32 companion Haider Ackermann and the poetic shine in the photographs of Paolo Roversi.
