If you are familiar with Haider Ackermann’s SS 2011 Menswear Collection, called ‘A Carte Blanche Named Opium,’ this is the carnet de voyage that was distributed before the show, promising a dark, sensual head trip.

The publication can be regarded as an intimate diary full of references and subtle nods to lifelong friends and inspirations, including perfumer Serge Lutens, who created a contemporary dictionary, and actress Tilda Swinton, who wrote about Vermeer and ghosts.

Other contributors include Berlinde de Bruyckere, Matthew Day Jackson, Katerina Jebb, and Dorothy Parker.

For those who believe in gestures and attitudes.
