When Ackermann
started not so long ago I was thoroughly enraptured by what he was doing… there
was this lush layering ... these exquisite color combinations and a sort of sprezzatura
and manly sexiness that was surely out of the ordinary for a French collection.
Yes, it was always about the tailoring but there was also this amazing softness
but with an edge … if that makes any sense.

Then came
the hype, then came the trend chasing and now there are only traces and a sort
of mutated DNA that doesn’t quite come across the same way. Some may say
evolved but I say that the collection, while still somewhat beautiful, has
sacrificed its original DNA to excessive styling and what’s hot and almost
looks as if it’s trying too hard to be cool

I honestly
believe this guy has way more than he is putting out there as well as an
abundance of talent that is missing from so many of this new so called breed of
designer.
