The Tom Ford brand enters a stunning new era as acclaimed designer Haider Ackermann takes the creative helm, debuting a co-ed collection at Paris Fashion Week in March 2025. This fusion marks the most anticipated high-fashion partnership of the year, uniting Tom Ford’s iconic sensuality and sharp modernity with Ackermann’s mastery of color, tailoring, and drama.

Announcing Ackermann’s appointment, Tom Ford himself said:
“I have long been a great fan of Haider’s work. I find both his womenswear and menswear equally compelling. He is an incredible colorist, his tailoring is sharp, and above all he is modern. We share many of the same historical references, and I could not be more excited to see what he does with the brand. I suspect that I will be the first on my feet to applaud after his show in March.”
Ackermann’s own words capture the weight and thrill of the challenge:
“It is with tremendous pride that I will seek to honor the legacy of Tom Ford, a man I have long admired and have the utmost respect for,” said Ackermann. “I am much looking forward to what lies ahead.”

Key signatures included: Razor-sharp tailoring—double-breasted power suits with a flourish, including a standout tan hairy blazer and jewel-embellished jackets.
Dramatic color palette—looks in black, grey, and luminous acid yellow and green, which Ackermann called colors of joyì Sheer, sculpted sensuality—dresses hugging the torso, with bare shoulders, plunging necklines, and flashes of skin revealed by transparent shorts, jersey, and cutout details. Seduction is a dialogue.
Tom Ford is a world of desire. It lures and seduces. To seduce means to bring someone close, drawing a gaze, enticing touch, stimulating senses, rewarding discovery with surprise and beauty…
