For this coming Fall 2026, Ann Demeulemeester reimagines the brand’s signature dark romance and battered romanticism into a highly wearable, enduring wardrobe.
Under Stefano Gallici, denim became one of the house’s most important building blocks. Rather than classic blue jeans, Gallici approached denim with the same dark romanticism and rock-and-roll attitude that define Ann Demeulemeester.
Actually, Gallici explicitly stated that “denim matters” in Pre-Fall 2026, integrating it into a wardrobe built around slouchy tailoring, leather bikers, and varsity jackets.

And for Fall 2026, denim became more expressive and autobiographical. Gallici drew inspiration from his teenage years, when he would literally draw on his jeans.
As for fits, Demeulemeester Pre- and Fall 2026 collections are another brand signaling the return of slimmer and flared denim after years of oversized fits. The jeans still do have a rather slouchy fit, but nothing like the over- and uber-sized from the past seasons.
