FW17 Burnt Detail Velvet Dress

By 2017, Haider Ackermann had honed a balanced formula that blended the avant-garde with the wearable. Rich hues—think maroon, ink black, and olive—worked seamlessly across sharply tailored suits and languid dresses. A newfound sense of poise permeated the collection, highlighted by impeccably draped coats and subtle cutouts that elevated the look without overpowering it. The result felt like an assured statement of modern femininity, underscoring Haider Ackermann’s mastery of quiet yet striking design.
