Dear Shaded Viewers,
Haider Ackermann presented a compelling and beautiful show this week, reasserting his position as one of fashion's most singular talents. Focusing on darker tones and textured fabrics, as well as sheer effects and impeccable tailoring, the collection had a strong emotional charge, which didn't leave anyone in the audience indifferent. I loved the way he used polka dots, giving them a graphic and contemporary edge. The clothes were dramatic and contained at the same time.
Best,
Philippe
