The Piece

Haider Ackermann created many "grails" throughout his career. Especially the bomber jackets from 2014-2015 created a huge buzz in the industry and left a big mark on what was to follow. But something that has always been underrated is his insane talent at footwear. There are only very few shoes from him that get the "popularity" they deserve. This one is one of the exceptions. It was seen all over the FW16 Runway Show, was beautifully worn by celebrities like Luka Sabatt and received "grail" status after not too much time. They feature a beautiful western silhouette with a more flat toe than usual haider boots. But what makes this shoe so special is the crazy snakeskin material that was used on the body, which is complimented with gold elements beneath it. You can hardly stunt more with a boot than with these.

Collection

Compared to its Spring/Summer predecessor, Fall/Winter 2016 saw Haider Ackermann return to his darker, more mysterious roots. The collection embraced rich textures, with heavy velvet and wool fabrics in deep blues, bold blacks, and muted golds making a dramatic statement throughout. This palette lent an aura of intrigue and sophistication, capturing Ackermann’s signature moody elegance.

Alongside his iconic long, sharply tailored coats, Ackermann brought back his beloved bomber jackets, reimagining them with the same dark allure that defined the season. The bombers balanced the collection’s sleek refinement with a sense of rugged masculinity, creating a juxtaposition between structure and ease. The flowing lines and draped elements, combined with the weight of the fabrics, contributed to an almost theatrical aesthetic—each piece felt like part of a broader story, inviting viewers into Ackermann’s enigmatic world.

The Fall/Winter 2016 collection was a testament to Ackermann's ability to fuse drama with wearability. Each garment reflected his meticulous attention to detail, with subtle yet impactful embellishments adding depth and texture. This season not only revisited familiar themes but also redefined them, making for an unforgettable lineup that resonated with fans and solidified Ackermann’s place as a master of dark luxury in menswear.
