SS16 Handpainted Waistcoat in Black Leather

This black printed leather waistcoat with “Tago” detailing from SS16 by Haider Ackermann melds sharp tailoring with graphic edge. The leather is smooth and dense, overlaid with a tonal print that adds texture without overwhelming the waistcoat’s form.

Cut close to the body, the silhouette emphasizes the waist while maintaining clean lines through the shoulders. A hidden or minimal closure keeps the front unbroken, and seam work reinforces a strong structure.

A piece that speaks to Ackermann’s capacity to elevate a layering staple merging bold surface work and refined construction into a striking, wearable statement.
