I know it has taken me over 2 months to post about my Antwerp stock sales purchases, but University has had to take priority and man has it been insane! Also, I didn't want to just photograph them on a hanger, I wanted them to be seen in motion, on the body as they're meant to be.
The jacket is my favourite purchase of all, I haven't taken it off since I got it! It drapes beautifully, as do all Demeulemeester jackets. I don't know how to describe the design, the front lapels and pocket flaps are lined and doubled, one in the wool and one in silk satin.
I could not believe my luck with these! Of course they had all the most coveted shoes and boots there; triple lace, you name it, but they were still $400+ a pop! Then I spied under the table these suede ankle boots from Fall 2006, only pair, in my size, for only $50! Seriously lucky.
White silk Ann Demelemeester tie dress, worn with thrifted black velvet trousers and Marni wooden shoes.
I will be premiering my most luxurious purchase on Christmas Day. I will give you all a clue, It's from A/W 05, a real show piece!
I only bought items from the Ann D. stock sales not only because it was the best and the cheapest, but because I was using all the rest of my savings to buy fabric for my final collection. I have the most beautiful fabrics from Dries, A.F Vandevorst, and Ann D. of course. I'm so excited to show you guys, but obviously it's all under wraps for now.
Congrats! All so lovely! Have to admit I'm green with envy ;) Wishing you an amazing Xmas and a super New Year!
