FW13 White Ribbed Wide Neck T-Shirt

Haider Ackermann's Fall/Winter 2013 collection embodied a dark elegance and refined androgyny that define the designer's unmistakable aesthetic. The collection played with opulent fabrics, dramatic silhouettes, and a rich color palette ranging from deep black, emerald green, and smoky gray to metallic accents.

In this collection Haider masterfully balances structure and fluidity, combining sharply tailored, masculine-inspired blazers with flowing silk fabrics and form-fitting leather trousers. The slender, almost sculptural lines are softened by intricate layering and asymmetrical cuts, creating a striking contrast between rigidity and effortlessness.

Standout pieces include sumptuous velvet coats with dramatic shawl collars, floor-length skirts with architectural draping, and high-neck blouses with plunging open backs. The overall look is both aristocratic and rebellious—an homage to the elegant nonchalance and mysterious understatement for which Haider Ackermann is renowned. With this collection, Ackermann further refines his signature aesthetic: a play between masculine and feminine, between structure and sensuality, between decadent opulence and understated cool.
