there seems to be one or two labels that are hitting the nail on the head from each fashion capital; proenza and kors in new york, nicoll and burberry in london and the talented haider ackermann in paris but NYC, LDN, and Paris are putting on display their heavy weights and coming up slightly dry. even some of the more theatrical designers such as lim seemed to be bullied into taking the minimal and very unlike them calvin klein approach. So i look to the
directional ones that lead the pack; in particular haider ackermann.
he has recently turned up everywhere. after karl declared ackermann would be only one able to fill his shoes at chanel the fashion worlds ears pricked up and now i know why.
ackermann stated that his clothes are not easy to wear and it is not uncommon for him to be called in when stylists cant figure out how to dress their clients in one of his garments.
his garments are often kimono inspired pant suits made of silk and layered. where did ackerman come from and what's his story? born in columbia and adopted by a french couple, this designer has moved opposite continents and brought the influences along the way.
ackerman is fast becoming a head of the fashion pack and in the same cluster of mine margiela lives in.
