Haider Ackermann paid tribute to the female form with a collection stepped in androgyny for his label’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection. A story of contradictions, the silhouettes are at once sleek with their modern cuts and relaxed shapes yet dreamy in airy chiffons and silks worn as veils, skirts or tops. Long jackets and baggy trousers speak to mannish style while the low-cut tops and slinky metallic dresses embrace a more feminine form. The play on hard and soft style make the Ackermann woman’s upcoming spring a beautiful contradiction.

Amidst a runway show featuring a setting of hanging flora, the Spring/Summer 2014 collection from Dior similarly embraced the floral theme whether it was quite literal with prints or more abstract with shape. The spring preview implemented emblem decorations which adorned the iconic Dior “Bar” jacket. Decoration was a main theme of the show, whether with bold prints or dresses embellished with colorful sayings. For the final, models walked in black suiting decorated with kaleidoscopic patterns or silver jacquard dresses.
