It’s official, I love Haider Ackermann. Last season, I talked about Phi who manages to impress me enough for me to feature the entire collection in a blog post. This season it is Haider Ackermann who left me tingling with goosebumps as I viewed the runway pictures.

The sculptural beauty of the entire collection left my jaw hanging. How beautiful yet how absolutely raw it all looks together. I’d imagine each individual piece being able to be worn differently.

Leather is definitely one of the key fabrics used this season. Laser-cut leather? It’s definitely a level higher.

The collars are draped to perfection, we’ve been seeing all kinds of draped collar this season (Helmut Lang, Gareth Pugh, Ohne Titel etc) but Haider Ackermann takes it up one notch by featuring billowing waves of leather wrapped around the neck which changes however the wearer wants it to look. Pure genius.

And I haven’t even begun raving about the zippered corset belts. Some of them were deliberately left undone with such careless grace that makes them even more covetable and eye-catching.

And this last dress is truly golden. I’m full of praise for this collection. Definitely my favorite out of all the runway collections so far.

Hello everyone. I apologise for the sorry state of this blog. London was amazing, so much so that I completely forgot the existance of this blog that we ran out of posts. Dawn and I checked out Camden in our impossible high heeled boots, treading on stone pavements in the dreary and wet weather that is London.

I can’t believe I stopped at NYFW. There is so much to catch up now. Woeeeeeeeeeee.

So anyway, halfway between coming back from London and getting my ass to blogging, I developed some sort of an infection in my throat with medications that made me feel nauseous. I was basically sleeping most parts of the day akin to a Koala bear. I much prefer being productive. True story.

ANYWAY, I digress. Gareth Pugh. UNF.

When I first saw this collection it almost jolted me off my seat. I feel that this is one of the most wearable collection that Gareth Pugh has came up with so far. Also, leather as we all know, is sexy. It is also a bitch to sew. I do not envy whoever has to sew all those panels of leather together.

And I think we can all agree after looking at the countless runway pictures so far that jackets with big draped lapels will be all the rage in A/W 2010.

I should mention that I have a weakness for distressed knits, this look above just nailed it. Again, with us and the many dark crusaders of fashion with a penchant for wearing black, our options are limited to playing around with textures. I believe Gareth Pugh has demonstrated to us that Black is definitely not boring. It’s just a play of shiny and matte, textured and smooth.
