Haider Ackermann Autumn / Winter 2016

PARIS — No matter the weather, no matter the transport, Haider Ackermann is simply not a show to be missed and the collection the celebrated designer showed for Autumn / Winter 2016 Saturday morning at Palais de Chaillot was no exception. The silhouette as ever was long, it was lithe, and steeled against the often cruel world with variations on the military jacket. Lili Sumner, who from the Next network was joined on the runway by Katlin Aas, backstage described her look as “Pippi Longstocking meets Dr. Seuss.” The playfulness suggested by Lili’s description is merited, how else to not grin in awe at the ornately sculptured hair by Japanese hair stylist Kamo?
