Haider Ackermann May Expand Into Couture: After recently being linked to potential positions at Maison Martin Margiela and Dior, it’s no surprise that ready-to-wear designer Haider Ackermann is considering an expansion into couture. "Suddenly this season, I am also thinking about opening stores," he said. "Another thing I would love to explore is haute couture. I know where I'd do it, the music, what it would look like. I don't forget these things—they haunt me every night. Sometimes I feel I have a pile of ideas that I am keeping aside because I can't use them [for ready-to-wear]." [Vogue UK]
