RUNWAY: Haider Ackermann FW17

Haider Ackermann finds himself in a new position for FW17, not only is he showing his eponymous collection during Paris Fashion Week but later this week, Friday to be exact, he'll be showing his first collection for Berluti. However, tonight it's all about the Haider Ackermann man. Who is he and what will he be wearing this coming season? If this short but sweet collection of rich and lush fabrics is any clue, it'll be patterned. Ackermann has a way with pattern and he utilizes this skill prodigiously every season and for FW17, they mostly stayed within the buffalo plaid and houndstooth family. Both are popular patterns in menswear but Ackermann offered them in new and unusual ways like a scoop neck houndstooth knit or buffalo plaid pants, topsy turvy indeed. In all, the collection hit all the marks of an Ackermann collection with nuances that added a bit of flare.
