The Colombian designer and one of Antwerp’s brightest stars, Haider Ackermann, does this again. There is something unexplainable about his AW15 collection. Ackermann’s sensitivity with drape and textures is shown through every collection – but this time, he outdid himself. The variety of tweeds, flannels, felts, leathers and silks was so big and unexpectadely, looked great styled up together. The pirate jackets were all about bold checks and animal prints while the floor-sweeping skirts and coats created an ethereal atmosphere of Angelina Jolie in the Disney movie, Maleficent. Also, notice the details on the jackets – white stitches and safety spins were strong references to the lingering love of punk and rock & roll. These are modern clothes for women who love to spice up their dandy style. What can I say more? This slightly chaotic, decadent collection from AW15 Paris Fashion Week is the one I truly love the most.

Fashion and art? Some say these two are strictly different worlds. But some think they have a lot in common. In my opinion, fashion and art are both somewhere in the middle – fashion and art inspire each other, but are still used in contrasting ways. Fashion is first of all a good business. Art is a strong form of expression. For AW15, designers went into trend-without-a-trend thing, giving us various art references. Here is what I observed throughout the fashion week in Paris.
