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.

Dries van Noten delivered his trademark romanticism with an opulent refinement for his Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The Belgian designer presented dreamy floral prints and relaxed silhouettes featuring a strong theme of gold ranging from metallic vests to more subtle accents like gold pleats. Skirts decorated with ruffles add some volume to the spring season as well as large floral-shaped ornaments in rushed silk and gold plisse. Accessories for the new season include retro, circular-shaped frames and embroidered bags with tribal details.

With Pharoahe Monch booming on the speakers, it was a trip back to the 90s tomboy for Alexander Wang. Menswear was the jumping-off point for the collection, with classic suiting being used for everything from spaghetti-strapped slip dresses to the waistbands of leather shorts. Men’s pajamas popped up in sexy shorts looks with plenty of stomach exposed. There were old-school hip-hop references sprinkled into the collection. Babydoll dresses splashed with the designer’s name mingled with leather overall dresses, while workwear made an appearance in black shorts suits with white stitching. The shoes were a new silhouette for Alexander Wang, with a heavy platform and chunky heel all, in a high-sheen patent that almost looked like gleaming rubber at a distance. His bags were on full display with sleek duffels and oversize clutches standing out in shades of maroon and baby pink.
