Behold fashion evolved!! Ackermann took the trends and
smoothed them out to the point of elegance, chic and a degree of sophistication
that has been rarer than hen’s teeth on the runways this season. He also catapulted
the brand into an unchartered sphere by adding women’s looks to the menu but
taking androgyny to a place where it’s negligibly been seen and that is to a
level of the intelligent manipulation of fashion. It's got attitude!

The Berluti collection
... from the shoes up ... reflects a taste level that surpasses and I’m
sure evades many of its competing brands as well as their supposed critics.
This is not just a case of dumbing down trends or putting men’s clothes on women
… Ackermann offers this rather ... almost esoteric minimal point of view which
is one of true high fashion in both a literal and cerebral level. Even the subtle
color palette is refined to the point of an array of barely there tints, not
colors, all offset with black.

These are clothes that possess a slick polish and urbane
approach to menswear which has been mostly void from the collections of the
past several weeks. These are not clothes for the fey barely past pubescence
these are the clothes of men who own their style and want to look stylish and
somewhat trend driven. Let’s say it is classically trend driven! The cool
factor has been set on high. There is a sort of intentional sprezzatura that
few collections have achieved ... in other words. .. none of it seems contrived.
