 Haider Ackermann

Brand Profile:

Haider Ackermann is a colombian born designer, from France that stormed Paris Fashion Week in 2001 with his first ever woman's collection, debuting his label. 

After being inspired by the honorable Yves Saint Laurent, Haider Ackermann decided to head to Belgium to pursue his career in fashion designing. Interning with the likes of John Galliano and many other creative designers, 2001 was his year to broadcast his talent to the fashion industry. In 2005 Haider Ackermann joinned hands with Belgium bvba 32 group, to set up his very own studio in the chic capital of Paris, this began his journey of delivering unusual textures and drapes for the modern women. 

Influenced by various cultures, Ackermann's garments consist of contrast and blends of a whole new dress code. From simple cuts to asymmetric, the use of different materials, like leather and their new movement of drape. Beautiful strong silhouettes, which are strong and refined, many of his creations have been worn by celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Janet Jackson and Penelope Cruz. 

 I love the Visual affect of the way in which Ackermann exploits the use of tough textures against lustrous draping, contrasting the strong leathers with the intense flow of drape and colour.

A mastermind of leather and avant-garde draping.-★
