SS18 Wool Striped Tanktop

Spring/Summer 2018 marked a refreshing turn for Haider Ackermann, building on the strong foundation of Fall/Winter 2017. This season, Ackermann opted for a more subdued approach, dialing back the intensity while staying true to his signature glamorous spirit. The collection introduced beautifully executed new patterns and silk garments, capturing a refined elegance that felt both fresh and familiar.

Unlike the bold statements of previous seasons, this collection spoke in softer tones, allowing the intricate details and luxurious textures to take center stage. Ackermann’s skillful use of silk, combined with innovative jacquard patterns, showcased his ability to reinvent opulence in a way that felt approachable and effortless. Each piece was crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail, yet the overall vibe was more restrained, letting the garments speak for themselves.

Notably, Spring/Summer 2018 was also the first collection in which Ackermann began reissuing some of the brand’s iconic pieces. Among these was the legendary pair of biker joggers famously worn by Kanye West in 2015, a design that had quickly achieved cult status. By reintroducing these classic pieces, Ackermann bridged past and present, giving longtime fans and new followers alike a chance to experience the timeless appeal of his earlier work.
