Under Creative Director Haider Ackermann, Tom Ford Spring Summer 2026 illuminates the allure of the house's heritage. At 54, the French-Colombian designer leans into seductive glamour with fluid tailoring, experimental textures, and tension between power and vulnerability. “Seduction is a dialogue,” he said. “To seduce is to bring someone close, drawing a gaze, enticing touch.”

This season sees graphic-shouldered jackets, sheer skirts, and fluid suits in startling hues — cobalt, orange, pastel blue — worn against bare skin. Glossy leather pencil skirts radiate alongside second-skin dresses that cling to the body, catching the light with every step. For men, languid sensuality came through in draped silk shirts, fluid trousers, and loose tailoring — silhouettes that exuded ease yet carried a razor-sharp magnetism.

Ackermann’s take on Tom Ford at Paris Fashion Week is both a continuation and a reset: a reclamation of Tom Ford’s signature boldness, reimagined through a lens of elegance, fluidity, and taking control of desire. His approach distilled Ford’s trademark confidence into something more refined, signaling a shift from spectacle to intimacy.

Under Ackermann, Ford’s legacy of power and sex appeal doesn’t just return; it evolves, setting the stage for a new chapter of Tom Ford.
