Ann Demeulemeester: She Dreams of Cloth
Renata Espinosa

For Ann Demeulemeester's 20th anniversary, she got a very special
birthday present: a poem spoken from backstage by legend punk
chanteuse Patti Smith as models solemnly processed down the runway
wearing Demeulemeester's poetic vision for next spring, which she
presented on Tuesday, October 3rd in a warehouse on the edge of Paris.
"I started my first show with a poem of hers, 'Wave,' and she invented
one on the spot [today]," said Demeulemeester post-show, as the
stunned throngs congratulated her for creating such a poignant moment
in a mostly humdrum Spring 2007 fashion season.
"Tattered coat and your scattered hopes and your silver dreams,
unfettered, unspoiled, and she sees lace, white eyelet cloth,
billowing into the sea...Easter...Muslim nets form tents. She dreams
of cloth...silver charms," intoned Smith as the soundtrack of a
baroque harpischord gave way to her hypnotic words inspired by
Demeulemeester's collection, the soulful manifestation of a rock
star's inner life. It's an anti-fashion message that has been
consistent throughout Demeulemeester's career. [snip]
