Such a Turn of Events from Spring 2014 to Fall 2014! Haider Ackermann seems to have performed a total About face on the Clumsy, Unsatisfactory effort that was Spring and snapped back to his senses with a Fall Collection that embraces all the things that make him a Designer of Staggering gifts, but also not relying on old versions of those things and pushing his look distinctly forward. Gone were the Silky, Shimmery, Slippery Jewel toned Satins and Silks that are his Trademark and here are Limpid Tweeds and Woolens and Cashmeres that achieve the same sense of Liquidity and Fluidity while having more Gravitas.
The collection itself for Fall 2014 is Monumental. The Muted Colour Palette is just as Sensual as the Jewel tones he Favours, Yet they seem more Personally Sensuous than Outwardly so. As if, the Pleasure is internalized and not for the Audience. Wearing the clothes for the sensate pleasure of the self. There were Ackermann's Usual Suspects, Pants, Oh Glorious Pants! In all shapes and sizes... Skinny, Full, Pleated, Straight.... and all cut with Ackermann's Meticulous and Prodigious Skill. Along with the pants were Striking, Floor grazing coats that were Starkly Minimal but carried much Impact!
A Feeling of Penitent Restraint flowed throughout, as there was nothing Exorbitant or Extravagant about the clothes except their obviously Lush Materials. This sense of Abnegation was in it's own right, Seductive. Take the Heather Grey turtleneck Cap sleeve Jumpsuit. Who else on earth could make a Turtleneck and Cap sleeves look so Enticing to wear? Or Exit No. 23. Nykhor Paul wearing a Floor Sweeping coat in Loden with nothing more than a Moss Green top and matching pants and looking Serene and Glamourous at the same time!
Without Beads, Flourishes, Embellishments or Extreme Details, Ackermann made a Paean to Simplicity that Rocked the very Core of the watcher. It was as Powerful as a Gut Punch and Just as Visceral. Ackermann Showed why his name has been closely uttered as one Creators of Fashion's Future. With a Collection of Unstudied, Cool Ease as this, He will certainly be one of the People who creates what tomorrow will look like. And if that is the case, Tomorrow is looking Very Bright Indeed!
That's All.
Bye4Now!
