I had the idea of this thread while watching again and again Ann D's FW 08 runway, where the waistcoats had a significant importance, as usual in her work.
I especially liked the thick ones :
First, I thought that this kind of waistcoat/coat association (i.e. a very thick waistcoat overtaking and recovering - "climbing" on - the coat) was new. But I jumped into the archives to be sure and took a look at all her previous male shows.
And I found another example, in FW 07 :
Principle is very near : single buttoned waiscoat, colour and shape of both the coat and the waistcoat echoing, and lapels of the waistcoat covering the coat's ones.
The only difference in FW 08 is the specific wawing pleated shape of the waistcoat lapels :
And also that, on one outfit, the waistcoat (his colour actually), visually pushed forward, submerges and devours the coat :
I thought that an short anthology of Ann D's waistcoats could be interesting for those who are fans of her work from the very first begining, or involved in critical writing on fashion, or designers themselves or merely interested in fashion design.
This point of view could appear to be odd, since Ann's work is constantly based on layering and the pieces of the trio shirt/waiscoat/jacket or coat shoudn't be considered separetely. But, let's see, it'll maybe make sense.
