Tonight, as the Fall 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week continues, Haider Ackermann staged his highly anticipated debut as Tom Ford creative director. Ackermann replaced Peter Hawkings (who lasted less than twelve months in the role) in September. Fast forward six months and Mr. Ford himself is on his feet applauding the Colombian-born French designer as he took his bow at the end of the show. Ackermann seemingly sought inspiration from the 1970s and 1990s, with looks ranging from low-slung leather trousers, asymmetric leather jackets, and wraparound sunglasses to sleek ultra-high-cut gowns that evoke the high-octane glamour of the ultimate Tom Ford woman.
Tom Ford Fall 2025 Collection Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Gosh, this show screamed luxury. Haider Ackermannn managed to be himself and yet be Tom Ford. There is elegance and opulence and it’s sexy but not vulgar. Loved it!” [Olaffo]
“A knockout!! Mostly very well executed and rich! The leather was a stand out for me! the cuts, the materials, the casting. It worked so beautifully!” [Ihhbl]
“GORGEOUS. Finally, an opulent, luxurious, grown-up collection. The models looked stunning, with real makeup and real hairdressing. Love the posing, the movement, the sensuality. Best show in years. I’m totally in awe.” [carla56]
“Ackermann definitely captured the spirit of Tom Ford. It is a beautiful and luxurious collection. The color palette is stunning and model casting is great.” [MModa]
“J’adore! Very somber, very Tom Ford after dark. Surprisingly, he went back to some 90s Tom Ford. I saw some 1997/1999 Gucci. It’s very European, something that Tom Ford was at Gucci and YSL and less at his own brand. For that it looks more modern, more urban.” [Lola701]
“Fantastic collection. Wow, what a debut! Sleek, luxurious, sexy yet incredibly sophisticated. Impeccable tailoring, and as expected great colors. I knew he would deliver. He’s bringing a taste level here that is hard to find elsewhere.” [Marc10]
