Haider Ackermann's debut Tom Ford was a resounding success
The warm embrace between Haider Ackermann and Tom Ford, sitting in the front row, is the confirmation that the goal has been achieved. At Paris Fashion Week, the women's and men's Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection is shown. A constant balance between elegance and sensuality.
One of the most anticipated debuts of Paris Fashion Week is that of Haider Ackermann, who presents his first co-ed collection for fall winter 2025-26 at Tom Ford. "Entering the house that Mr. Tom Ford built, I was drawn to the man himself, whose personality resonates in everything he imagined," says the creative director. "He is the night, I am the morning after: this is where our dance begins." The location of the show evokes exactly this: a room shrouded in shadow with fogged mirrors that show the signs of the night gone by. A wardrobe that is a hymn to the elegance of Tom Ford, a perfect collision between masculine and feminine, but also between seduction and attraction.
Tom Ford’s women’s and men’s show showcased the architectural constructions of the suits and tailoring, the palette of bright colors and pastels, and a sense of glamour that pervaded the entire collection. Also on the catwalk were Vittoria Ceretti, in a sophisticated black dress; Karen Elson, in a long lilac fringed dress; and Kristen McMenamy, in an impeccable black suit.

"Sensualness is the perception of beauty. I have welcomed my beauties here: noble personalities who embody my idea of individuality today. Their androgyny gives life to the direct verticality of what they wear, to the naturalness of pure lines amplified by the explosion of color. There is dignity in purity, in removing rather than decorating, in transforming decoration into architectural forms that complete or refine the body with precision," explains Ackermann in the press release, which closes with the powerful message: "I believe in love."
For the final bow, Haider Ackermann reached the founder Tom Ford sat first row for a warm embrace , and Ford's smile was an unmistakable confirmation of his approval.
