Haider Ackerman Fall 2007

PARIS, March 1, 2007 – "I wanted to take a motorcycle and escape to Tibet," said Haider Ackermann, the peripatetic Colombian-born, Belgian-trained designer whose subtle, sometimes stark clothes are still flying under the radar in the U.S.

With this rather abstract concept in mind, Ackermann layered and draped leathers, suedes, and velvets in a deep palette of plums, sage greens, and grays. The most challenging of his looks was a tunic that twisted and bunched at the waist: not an easy area to wear extra fabric ("for some it will be too heavy," he admitted backstage). Modified biker jackets with zippers that twisted from one shoulder to the opposite hip were more user-friendly.

The jersey dresses that floated to the floor from gathered and ruched necklines were dramatic in an unembellished, perhaps almost monastic, way. Ackermann was at his best working in this idiom of austerely cool draping. When he added details to the collection's more tailored pieces, though, the results were slightly off: Bands of sequins on walking shorts, and a pair of chiffon pants with a gathered hem, worn over another pair of shorts, were impractical and fussy. That said, a bronze one-button suit was sexy and edgy and way too sophisticated for the windswept wilds of Tibet .

Join Me

If you have anything you think should be in this blog, please send me. I’m starting a collaboration with all of those who like me love fashion and photography. But it´s not only about fashion that this blog is made of. I found out that I also like interior design. So if you have a word to say, email me.

I´m Back

Hi!! I’m back from my holydays. It’s good to be back and I have a lot of great news to tell you, so don’t miss anything.

The Fashioniste

Last week, I suppose, I received an email from The Fashioniste. His name is Todd and he has a site about Fashion, well for me it's a site about style, because he gives us, the readers, his perspectives about Fashion. But it is not only about Fashion that he speaks. On his site we take a trip on Fashion, Art and Literature, "brought together by someone who's passionate about all three", as he says.
As you may or may not know, I have a passion for Fashion and Photography, and on The Fashioniste's site, we can see and "feel" the very latest pictures from the world of fashion. This for me is crucial, because I need to see, and not just read.
As I said, he sent me an email, we spoke a little, and discovered that the two of us have the same mission--promoting great style, as he says. Let me tell you that this is a very hard mission to carry on, for a lot of reasons, but it's not an impossible one. So, Todd, keep up the great work! As for the rest of us, we won't miss a single update.
Thank you!!!!

I was lead to believe that the days of patchwork pieces had gone with the 2003 hippie trend. I was so wrong! Because if Miss Selfridge is stocking it, it has to be a trend… again, right??? Well, I don’t know what to think about it!

Jessica Simpson and her Louis Vuitton bags

Jessica Simpson’s loves Louis Vuitton bags. It seems like Jessica Simpsom has at least one bag from every leather collection the French fashion house make, except for the Epi leather collection. Talk about a girl having a brand obsession.
