Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2025 by Stefano Gallici, titled « The Dialogue of another day », » serves as a heartfelt love letter to the house’s original codes. Reviving Edwardian romanticism with a brutalist edge, Gallici masterfully modernizes the bohemian trend, capturing the essence of the brand while infusing it with a fresh modern perspective.

The collection pays homage to Demeulemeester’s unique approach to layering, merging relaxed yet structured silhouettes with slight distressing for a lived-in warmth. This season’s pieces embody a relaxed, wearable elegance. Lace entwines with denim, and loose knits float like feathers, creating a delicate tension between ruggedness and refinement. 

Gallici reintroduces iconic accessories, from flowing scarves to signature neckerchiefs, fostering a sense of self-decoration that feels intimate and instinctual. The collection embraces the ambiguity of dressing, offering garments that transform with the wearer’s intent—modest yet undeniably seductive.

“I kept thinking of the last days of summer. Sun-faded clothes, hues that blur like when you fall asleep in the sun. Lace is tender. Skin is soft. One thing found, another lost.” states the creative director reflecting on his inspiration. This introspective energy is palpable, with long robes flowing effortlessly and denim appearing soft and loved, stitched with nostalgia.

With this collection, Gallici honors Ann Demeulemeester’s legacy while asserting his own vision. « Lost and Found Thoughts » transcends fashion, reflecting memory, loss, and the beauty found in both. The brand continues to build a world where rawness and delicacy coexist, allowing limitless freedom to dream.
