RUNWAY: Berluti SS18

After Haider Ackermann's excellent SS18 collection for his eponymous label, expectations were high at Berluti, where he is  the creative director. For his sophomore effort, he created unisex looks full of his signature soft tailoring in elegant fabrics, some offering a little sheen while other had sportier aspects like jogger but far less egalitarian. The most surprising part of the show were the plethora of sandals on display. Berluti is, after all, known for their incredibly expensive shoes, worn in boardrooms in some of the most prestigious companies in the world and the expansive sandal selection felt seismic for the label. It was just another sign that times are changing and Berluti, part of the LVMH family, does not want the trend boat to leave without them.
