Tom Ford Fall Winter 2026 by Haider Ackermann: Our Favourite Looks

For the Autumn/Winter 2026 season, Haider Ackermann presented his vision for Tom Ford with a sharp sense of tension—balancing polished luxury with something darker, more subversive.

The collection moved effortlessly between two archetypes: the jet-setting rockstar and the eerily precise businessman reminiscent of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. Ackermann explored this duality through a wardrobe that felt both glamorous and slightly dangerous, where impeccable tailoring met an undercurrent of menace.

Silk bombers paired with tailored grey trousers suggested effortless travel elegance, while striped mohair knits and leather pieces added texture and attitude. Crocodile jackets, lace-up trousers and relaxed denim introduced a raw sensuality, while sharply cut ‘80s-inspired suits and contrast-collar shirts nodded to corporate power dressing with a seductive twist. Eveningwear appeared sleek and deliberate, carrying the unmistakable confidence associated with the house.

Accessories and styling amplified the mood. Many looks were finished with black leather gloves and slicked-back hair, reinforcing the collection’s sleek yet intimidating aesthetic. The effect was cinematic: models looked as though they were heading either to a private airport lounge or somewhere far more clandestine.

Among the standout pieces was a sharply tailored raincoat—an understated yet powerful reminder of the brand’s signature sophistication. In Ackermann’s hands, it became part of a wardrobe designed for nights that blur the line between elegance and intrigue.

With this collection, Ackermann proved that the seductive spirit of Tom Ford remains alive, even as it evolves. The result was a show where sexuality was anything but subtle—confident, polished, and just dangerous enough to keep things interesting.

Check out below our favourite looks:

Tom Ford Spring 2026

Haider Ackermann steps into Tom Ford’s legacy with the confidence of someone who understands rhythm. He honours the house’s sensual core, then subtly shifts the mood, letting restraint sharpen the allure.

Leather takes centre stage. A glossy brown blazer nods to Ford’s Gucci years, softened by a looser cut, while a tobacco suede field jacket channels seventies Americana. Open shirts, relaxed scarves and black polka-dot boxer shorts feel effortless, like the morning after a long Hollywood night.

Tailoring grounds the collection. A sharp black double-breasted suit is tempered by calmer shoulders, while cream and powder blue suits recall mid-century summer icons. Polka dots return in silk scarves and shirting, adding quiet playfulness, as colour moves from warm yellow to cool ice-blue suede with cinematic ease.

For Spring 2026, the house remains fluent in desire — guided forward by a designer who knows exactly when to hold the beat and when to let it drift.

Men at Met Gala 2025: Our Favourite Looks

The 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5, embraced the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” honoring the rich legacy of Black dandyism and its impact on fashion as both art and resistance.

Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion, the exhibition celebrated how Black men have historically used tailoring and personal style to assert identity and defy societal constraints.

With a dress code titled “Tailored For You,” the red carpet featured a bold reinterpretation of classic menswear, led by co-chairs Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton. Their looks, along with others, fused tradition with avant-garde flair—offering a striking visual narrative of individuality, cultural pride, and the transformative power of style.
