Known forBootsOuterwear
Belgian house founded in Antwerp in 1985 by Ann Demeulemeester, one of the Antwerp Six, who left the label in 2013. Italian retailer Claudio Antonioli bought the company in 2020, and Stefano Gallici has been creative director since June 2023, succeeding Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The Paris-shown collections keep the romantic-gothic codes: black tailoring, asymmetric drape, sheer layers, feathers, leather and buckled boots. Recent seasons lean younger and rock-referenced, with Billy Idol walking Fall 2026 and Jamie Campbell Bower and Jenna Ortega at Spring 2026.
