"ANN DEMEULEMEESTER" 01’s-05’s Poetically cut band collar cotton shirt

Clad in the atmosphere of Antwerp, sharpening the poetics of black and white, we introduce an exquisite piece from ANN DEMEULEMEESTER where intention resides within silence.

While appearing minimal, the cutting that considers body movement and shadows breathes life into this piece, which is a level of perfection unique to archives.

First and foremost, the band collar that smoothly rises around the neck stands out, and by reducing the collar's prominence, a margin is created around the face, making the overall appearance neat and refined.

Furthermore, although the front is designed with a concealed placket, the buttons are intentionally visible, adding tension within modesty, and small rhythms are engraved on the black surface.

The shoulder line is also very impressive, with a switch that deviates from the usual position, and a pattern that deeply wraps around the front, naturally guiding the line from the shoulder to the body, creating shadows that go beyond just basic.

Additionally, the body features diagonal switching panels, not as decorative design but as a construction to release the fabric's weight and bring out a unique drape.

The material label states 100% cotton, and the matte texture elevates the depth of black, with a subtle luster that conveys elegance without words, which is part of its charm.

The buttons are thick four-hole specifications, with a slight roundness that feels pleasant to the fingertips, indicating that even the parts touched during daily movements are carefully selected.

The hem has a gentle round shape, making it easy to balance whether tucked in or out, and the neatly finished cuffs are also a pleasing point, as they create a beautiful layering.

The era is viewed within the range of 2001 to around 2005, and in addition to the domestic agency notation being (Inc.) Incotro, the numbering system starting with 21, and the laundry label conforming to the old JIS standard, all align with the distribution conditions of that time.

And at this time of year, overlapping with the era when Antwaerp was responsible for creation, the more straightforward feeling of the hand marks different from the current line elevates the value of this individual piece.

For everyday wear, it resonates especially with those who want to shape their silhouette with a refined quality that eliminates waste rather than just wearing a black shirt, and it naturally complements scenes where you want to leave a quiet strength in your appearance.

In terms of styling, creating vertical lines with relaxed-fit slacks and a long coat makes the cut of this shirt stand out more beautifully, and layering a minimal tailored jacket to only reveal the collar creates a refined and mode-like impression that transcends gender.

Definitely take this opportunity.
