Tom Ford FW 2025
In the dimly lit grandeur of Paris, where fashion’s past and future often collide, Haider Ackermann stepped into the world of Tom Ford with a collection that was both an homage and a declaration. The Fall/Winter 2025 collection marked his first as creative director—a moment charged with expectation, reverence, and the promise of reinvention.
Ackermann, known for his mastery of tailoring and poetic approach to design, found himself at the helm of a house defined by sleek sensuality. The challenge was to honor Tom Ford’s legacy while weaving in his own distinctive voice. He did so with precision, drawing inspiration from a desire to balance power with fluidity and structure. The result was a collection that exuded confidence, its sharp lines softened by an undercurrent of romance.
The show opened with a quiet intensity. Models emerged in gowns cut so high they defied gravity, rendered in shades of butter yellow and pool blue.
Ackermann’s attention to proportion was unmistakable—skinny neon suits, almost impossibly sleek, skimmed the body with effortless ease, while a fringed lavender dress shimmered with a quiet nod to disco decadence. Each look was a convergence between past and present, between the sensuality of Tom Ford’s heyday and Ackermann’s vision of modern refinement.
The audience, an assembly of fashion’s most revered and rebellious, took it all in with the careful gaze of those who know when they are witnessing a shift. Doechii, ever the style chameleon, was among the first to arrive, her presence as electrifying as the collection itself. Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell, each legend in their own right, added to the atmosphere of hushed excitement, their attendance a testament to the significance of the moment.
In the end, the collection was more than a debut. It was a declaration that Tom Ford, under Ackermann’s direction, is moving into a new era—one where power dressing is reimagined through the lens of precise restraint, where sensuality is whispered rather than shouted, and where the past is acknowledged but never repeated. Tom Ford.
