Ludovic de Saint Sernin collaborates with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, combining his kinky, French romanticism with the New York eroticism of the photographer-artist.

For the designer's buzzy New York Fashion Week debut, the label looked to the life of the iconic photographer for artistic inspiration, resulting in a runway rife with effortlessly cool leather looks, fresh florals, and bold "butt-cleavage" pants.

Ludovic de Saint Sernin makes his debut as creative director of Ann Demeulemeester with the autumn winter 2023-24 collection during Paris Fashion Week.
