Haider Ackermann’s Clothes Are Apparently Too Complicated for ‘Hapless’ Vogue Editors to Style
Anyone who thinks a fashion shoot is as easy as trying on clothes and taking pictures has obviously never styled someone in Haider Ackermann. Just ask Tonne Goodman–who, according to The Independent, had more than a little trouble outfitting Lady Gaga for her March 2011 Vogue cover. Apparently, the draping of Gaga’s Romanesque kimono Ackermann ensemble was so complex, Goodman (or as The Independent refers to her, “the hapless fashion editor”) “called the designer to ask for his personal help dressing her.”

Trendspotting: Killer Cobalt
Paris has been saturated in cobalt blue this week, and while that can be dangerous for your health (no really, cobalt poisoning is a thing), we’re happy to risk a little for the sake of fashion. The powerful hue has made stops at big shows like Céline, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga and Chanel already, making it Read more →

Haider Ackermann Fall 2012: Autumn Leaves
PARIS–Haider Ackermann knows something about passion. This much is clear from his dreamy fall 2012 collection, shown yesterday in the ornate salons of the Hôtel de Ville.
The show kicked off with subtly elongated silhouettes: tightly fitted maxiskirts, high waisted flared trousers and structured belts set the focus on a feminine waist and played with the trompe-l’oeil effect of endless legs. Peplum jackets with undulating folds around the waist, draped and folded leather coats, as well as cinched dresses added a touch of playfulness.
The Ackermann sex appeal was there, of course, this season on leather skits with seductive slits up one thigh and on cleavage-baring deep v-necks, but at there was a sense of melancholy.

Yes, Another Dior Rumor: Is Haider Ackermann Next In Line?
We know, we know. The rumor mill about who will succeed Galliano at Dior has gotten out of hand and we’re only contributing to it. But we couldn’t not share this juicy little tid bit. We heard from our source close to Dior late last night that flowers were delivered for Monsieur Ackermann, who, um, doesn’t work at Dior…yet? Our source called the situation “embarrassing” and “bizarre.”
Bizarre indeed. Ackermann was one of many names tossed into the ring as a possible successor to Galliano but was never one of the ones that stuck. It is worth noting that Ackermann did, of course, intern for Galliano, and told WWD of the experience that it was “the best study ever.”
