Ann Demeulemeester
Ann Demeulemeester is an Antwerp-rooted fashion house founded by Belgian designer Ann Demeulemeester and Patrick Robyn in 1985. As a member of the Antwerp Six, Demeulemeester helped establish Belgium's international fashion reputation through precise tailoring, poetic layering and an enduring dialogue with music and art. She stepped away in 2013. Antonioli Group took over the brand in 2020, and Stefano Gallici became creative director in 2023 after joining the company in 2020. The privately held group does not publish audited standalone Ann Demeulemeester revenue.
