The 24th edition of Colombia Moda, Colombia Fashion Week was launched by an exclusive invitation-only fashion show presented by Colombian-born noted designer, Haider Ackermann.
This was the first time that Ackermann presented in his birth-country and he used this unique opportunity to present a decade-long retrospective of his illustrious career which was held at Medellin's Intelligent Building of EPM.
Presented to a packed house of 800 guests including the creme-de-la-creme of Colombian society, as well as local and global press (as well as Ramp 1885), Ackermann presented an incredible collection of jackets, trousers, tops and one-piece items in black with materials that became his hallmark including leather, satin and silk.
Various jewel-toned colours broke out from the mesmerizing monochromatic introduction with fantastic silhouettes of androgyny, enhanced architectural angles both present in his creations as well as the model's appearance with a stunning slick-back look.
