Pastel Punk Attire

The Haider Ackermann Spring Collection Features Hyper Color and Dark Looks

Fast-paced fashion is the epitome of the Haider Ackermann Spring/Summer '16 collection. This Spring line is influenced by the notorious punk aesthetic as well as a vibrant techno color palette.

For the Haider Ackermann Spring/Summer '16 collection the designer wanted to present a "strong look for a strange world." Offering 30 cool looks for the Spring season, this collection features pointy rocker boots, androgynous trousers and an array of low-slung pants. The dark color palette is juxtaposed with pops of neon and pastels, while the rugged leather is held at contrast against glossy satin and shredded patchwork.

This spring, the Haider Ackermann girl will be serving the best of both worlds: punk rock and techno pop.
