Haider Ackermann is certainly one of the hottest designers on the scene.

Born in Colombia in 1971, he spent his childhood in France, Ethiopia, Chad, Algeria and the Netherlands. His fashion designs tastefully reflect his international upbringing.

Also known as the new Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld sees Ackermann to be his ideal successor at Chanel. Tough to get a stronger nod of approval than that, right?

Yves Saint Laurent! One of the world’s most spectacular designers…and still my favorite! He revolutionized couture and ready-to-wear many many times throughout his career.
