Day three of Paris Fashion Week, and Haider Ackermann has presented his sophomore collection as Tom Ford creative director. The revered Colombian-born French designer was appointed back in September 2024, succeeding Peter Hawkings (who only lasted less than twelve months in the role). Following a raved-over debut collection, Ackermann doubled down on sharp tailoring, daring eveningwear, and undeniable sensuality. Closing the show, an army of models (including Alex Consani, Erin O’Connor, and Vittoria Ceretti) walked across a glossy catwalk in their sultry looks to a haunting soundtrack as the room filled with dramatic smoke, while front row attendees included Kylie Jenner, Kate Moss, and Pamela Anderson.
Review of the Tom Ford Spring 2026 Collection
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“If sex appeal were a fashion show, this would be the one.” [prylvi]
“Haider was really able to engage with the staple Tom Ford daywear, add more of himself into it, refresh some of Tom’s archival icons, and bring in some new, fully realized ideas for both of them.” [hamburgers]
“THIS IS INCREDIBLE! THE STAGING IS MAGNIFICENT! THE MUSIC! THE CAST! This is, with Galliano’s last Margiela, THE show of the decade! WOW! WOW!” [carla56]
“No words! Fab.” [GivenchyAddict]
“Ok, Ackermann, I see what you’re doing. The staging, the music, the cast, the choreography. It felt more like a Tom Ford movie than a Tom Ford runway and it’s much better for it. I’m in love.” [LadyJunon]
“I loved the presentation! The pacing, the sauntering of the models, and the entire collection.” [babyjane]
“Easily my favorite of the season so far. His take on sexy is so much more interesting than the conventional glossy bling bling sexy. It’s so seductive, silky, tantalizing. They look like vampires, in the best possible way.” [Marc10]
“Sleek, sharp and sexy, and a right amount of humor/vulgarity. This is everything that I ever asked for from Tom Ford and Haider just does it so effortlessly. Bravo.” [THD96]
