Excerpt: Ann Demeulemeester. Resort 2026 - Lookbook

 

"...The proto-doom rock groups, fans, groupies, occult, witchcraft cults of the 1970s, where the 'dark' hippies did there thing; acid trips, peyote, desert car trips into the unknown, doomsday rituals, Tarot card readings with your favorite witch.  Celebrating the coming thermonuclear apocalypse, whilst fucking under the stars.

And Gallici is assisting in bringing it all back with his Resort 2026 collection, even if it's a short lived experience, we'll take it.  So, let's delve into and enjoy the end times, and find meaning in its occult wisdom.  Offering a more layered stylization from the Fall 2025 collection, which actually feels like the two should be in reverse order, Fall was more like Resort, and Resort is more like Fall, but Resort styles for the New Mexico desert, you may want to layer on some extra clothes be it Gallici's trench coat, and sleeveless denim top, with lace, silk and wool, for those cool evenings whilst tripping on peyote, and your doomsday witch pulls the "Death" Tarot card, and tells you that a new beginning, comes from the end, she then points to a tent saying, 'ritual sex is in order to complete this reading'.  And after, you are to write down your post-sex sleep dream or vision, then throw it onto the campfire. And watch it burn to nothing.  

Of course you will oblige."
