Ludovic De Saint Sernin Out At Ann Demeulemeester After One Season

Ludovic de Saint Sernin is exiting Ann Demeulemeester it was reported over the weekend, a little over two months after showing his debut autumn/winter 2023 collection for the label in Paris. Neither De Saint Sernin nor Claudio Antonioli, who bought the Demeulemeester label in 2020 (and is close with Ann Demeulemeester, the woman), released a statement.

The news comes just a few days after it was announced that Rhuigi Villaseñor would be exiting Bally, although Villaseñor had two seasons to put his own spin on the Swiss label.

Previously, the Ann Demeulemeester label was run by its creative design team. De Saint Sernin’s debut collection, which hewed closely to the gender-fluid approach to dressing he works with at his own brand, quickly made a splash among the internet’s favourite It-girls. Most notable was the actor Hunter Schafer, who wore the show’s opening look, a long bias cut white silk skirt and a singular extra long feather delicately covering the breasts, at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. “It’s my way of saying that after this first step I’ll be spreading my wings and then be able to express myself,” De Saint Sernin told Nicole Phelps of the look.
