Ensemble

fall/winter 1996–97

Not on view

Among the new designers associated with Franco-Belgian Deconstructivism, Demuelemeester is at the forefront. But she is not an uninvolved artist; she has always produced accessible fashion, viable in the fashion world as real clothes. Menswear elements may be slightly rearranged, but with congenial good will and with meticulous tailoring and dressmaking.
