Haider Ackermann
The cult designer of the 2000s and ambassador of impeccable elegance
He is often called the “second Yves Saint Laurent,” and Karl Lagerfeld once named him his successor. Haider Ackermann, a French designer of Colombian origin, stands out for his masterful design of architectural yet feminine clothing. His unique combination of fabrics and textures makes every collection from the Haider Ackermann brand unforgettable.

Like Demna Gvasalia, Haider studied fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Ackermann’s impressive career trajectory has earned him an outstanding reputation. He has worked with John Galliano, Berluti, Jean Paul Gaultier, Canada Goose, and Tom Ford and also launched his eponymous clothing brand. According to Karl Lagerfeld, Haider would have been a worthy successor for the house of Chanel.
