HAIDER ACKERMANN
Okay I am a fan, devoted to the core, always feel that Haider leaves an imprint on my memories that transports me beyond just a fashion show but so much richer from the lighting the sound track to the hair and make-up. As Leonard Cohen spoke the Lyrics to the ‘Man I Love’ by Nina Simone I immediately felt emotional about all the pieces that started to fill the cat walk. Beautiful sculpted tailing which was both soft and crisp the use of fabric facilitated this with gorgeous combinations of fluid chiffons layered beneath jacquards that gave movement and romance but still enforcing the strong masculine theme of the show with all the clever tailoring. Tilda sat in the front row the poster girl for the brand the balance perfect girl to boy masculine to feminine. Adored this collection slightly more sombre palette and as always the confident layering gave depth and texture to each look. Favourites were the layered chiffon dresses over trousers. Which truly played on the feminine masculine themes of the show.
