>> For Spring 2009, Ann Demeulemeester has traded in her goth girl for Greek goddess in an outing hailed as "one of her best collections in recent seasons" by WWD. With her newfound muse comes not only lace-up sandals and beautifully draped dresses, but an infusion of color — vivid tangerine and saffron. When the pieces did stay within the bounds of her normal black and white color palette, embroidery or a cascade of rhinestone fringe made the look.
