Haider Ackermann

Haider Ackermann very much anticipated menswear debut seem to ave been a success at the Pitti W trade show in Florence last week. I think he design his men's collection for Johnny Depp and Hugh Hefner! Do I love it?.. not really my love for his woman's collection still makes me a huge fan of Haider!






I love this look!

Haider put a spell on me ♥

Myself and the amazing Haider Ackermann

"Dear
Haider, thank you for all the goosebumps you gave me last Tuesday. It was my first time in a museum and it was amazing! I wish it would of lasted all night long.." Of course, I am talking about Haider Ackermann's fashion show on June 1 at the ROM. This successful event was organized by the High-End Yorkville boutique, 119 Corbo, the exclusive Toronto retailer for Haider Ackermann.

This master designer draper "put a spell on" everyone in the room showing the most spectacular pieces, perfectly odd models and a powerful music
."I put a spell on you" of both Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Marilyn Manson complimented the Collection à merveille! I had some the best chocolates! So much that I lost count of how many pieces I savored.. some Leonidas fresh Belgian chocolates perhaps?

Each
outfit coming out was my favorite.. all the way until the end. He saved the best for last. It was a stunning floor lenght dress and yes, it was my favorite! A true piece of Art. A piece of Art that belongs in a museum. :)




It was a beautiful show and I am speechless by his talent & vision. I had the pleasure to meet him after the show and he is immediately lovely! There no dough that Haider has already put his creative mark in the world of high fashion.

Haider Ackermann

Meet Haider Ackermann


Haider signature: Avant-garde silhouettes, edgy fabrics, evocative draping and somber aesthetic. His layering and draping never ceases to amaze me. Ackermann has a soigné way with the simplest of materials. He can drape anything and what he does with leather could drive Rick Owens insane!! His sensitivity with drape and textures shows through in every collection.

Bio: Haider Ackermann was born in 1971 in Santa Fe de Bogotá, Columbia and adopted by French parents. He grew up in many cities throughout Africa and Europe before joining The Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. He attended for three years and he worked for various labels including interning at Galliano's Paris office. I think I would actually pay Galliano to intern with him!! :) Belgium is famous for many things: lace, waffles, French fries, beers and Leonidas chocolate. You can now add fashion designer Haider Ackermann to the list!

Ackermann's clothes are modern clothes for strong women. Women who CRAVE uniqueness. He does not believe a women should wear a lot of colors.. he really keep a subtle color palette. The structure, the clean and long line of his garment is unbelievable!

Ackermann will be venturing into new territory: men’s wear. He will unveil his first men’s looks during the Pitti W trade show in Florence in June. I can only imagine how amazing his Collection will be! He is a very interesting men.. He has a fashion show coming up in Toronto and it would be a such an honor to meet him!

You can find his latest collections at 119 Corbo in Yorkville.
