Welcome post

 Welcome to my blog

I am an Art & Design IYZ student. I am writing this blog for my Digital Arts class.

After my IYZ I will be studying Fashion communication & Styling because I have a huge interest in fashion. 

I will here be discussing a designer that inspires me in many ways :

The reason why I am inspired by this designer is because of the story and the meanings she always puts into her creations, she has lots of creative pieces where I often find a lot of inspirations to use in my work.

Ann Demeulemeester (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌɑn dəˈmøːləˌmeːstər]; born December 29, 1959) is a Belgian fashion designer whose eponymous label, Ann Demeulemeester, is mainly showcased at the annual Paris Fashion Week. She is one of the Antwerp Six in the fashion industry.

In 1985, Demeulemeester released her own line, Ann Demeulemeester, with husband Patrick Robyn. In 1996, she debuted her own menswear line.

Demeulemeester was influenced by gothic, punk, and Japanese cult styles, and her clothing is popular among so-called "goth ninjas".

Despite having being approached by major fashion houses (names of which she refuses to divulge), Demeulemeester emphasizes both design and financial independence and chooses to remain with her own line. She opened her own shop in Antwerp in 1999. Her collections are now sold in over 30 countries worldwide.
