Sunday Viewing: Haider Ackermann


Haider Ackermann in conversation with Maria Luisa

A Carte Blanche named Opium, by Haider Ackermann.  Opulence would be understating the collection.  Sometimes you just want to lose yourself in a fantasy...






I sincerely hope Ackermann returns to menswear, because Opium was nothing short of stunning.  I hope I can pick up a piece or two come the sale season (if they even reach the sales - the curse of the size 44/46), because they are fashion history in the making.  Indeed I would be surprised if certain museums were not already in the process of trying to safeguard select garments and accessories from the collection.  However I certainly understand the fact that he wants to focus on his womenswear.  That focus really did show - the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection was absolutely beautiful.  I rarely use the term 'sexy', but in this case it was the only word that came to my mind.  It was a sensual and seductive elegance, that teased rather than provoked with its reveal.  He presented a type of sexy that has been missing from womenswear for a while now, and one that I hope makes a return.  I would love to be the Ackermann man, and I would love to have the Ackermann woman by my side.
