Stefano Gallici, in his second show as creative director for Ann Demeulemeester’s Autumn/Winter 2024-2025 collection, embraces indefiniteness and ambiguity. Gallici sees Ann not just as a brand but as a mindscape, a forest-like archive to explore and get lost in.

The collection reflects Gallici’s raw and instinctive exploration of this archive, breaking free from established norms. The juxtaposition of rawness and delicacy, seen in enveloping coats, flowing dresses, and unique silhouettes, reveals an unfiltered translation of his personal expression.

As the collection hits the runway, surrounded by Neuf Voix’s live sounds, Gallici embraces a sense of vulnerability and fragility. Yet, within this exposure, he finds protection in the authenticity of his creative process. The FW24 show is a captivating journey into the mindscape of Ann Demeulemeester, shaped by the unique vision of Stefano Gallici.
