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:

Ann Demeulemeester's first boutique in Milan

Ann Demeulemeester has unveiled a new Milan address at Via Monte Napoleone 22, placing the brand at the center of the city’s luxury quarter. Housed in a former refectory, the boutique becomes the label’s second mono-brand store worldwide, after Antwerp.

Conceived under the direction of creative director Stefano Gallici, the 214-square-meter space unfolds across two levels connected by a staircase, with a private VIP room upstairs. Stripped-back walls, raw plaster, oxidized zinc, and black Italian herringbone wood define a restrained palette of black, white, and grey. The ceiling echoes the geometry of the floor, creating a subtle architectural rhythm.

Custom furnishings reinterpret historical forms with contemporary proportions, balancing weight and emptiness. Black linen seating and soft drapery temper the austerity, while large white canvases frame the collections in quiet focus. The opening coincides with an exclusive preview of Spring/Summer 2026 — Gallici’s latest vision for the house.

Demna’s Highly Anticipated Gucci Debut Lands in Milan

Milan Fashion Week has seen its share of entrances, exits, and expectations. But when Demna takes the reins of a house like Gucci, the industry holds its breath. The Georgian designer, known for redefining luxury through the lens of the everyday, has spent years building a world where a hoodie can carry as much weight as a gown. So what happens when that sensibility meets the marble halls of Italian heritage?

The answer, unveiled in a monumental, museum-like space surrounded by classical statuary, is less a revolution than a recalibration. Demna calls it Primavera, a palette of stylistic propositions for the people Gucci already speaks to, and those he hopes it will speak to next. It is a collection built on pragmatism, on clothes that require no pseudo-intellectual justification. They simply exist to be worn, to be enjoyed.

The clothes are about product. That is what Gvasalia keeps coming back to. Silhouettes, textures, materials. Lightness, ease, comfort. Body-aware shapes. There are seamless garments cut as close to the body as possible. Invisible heat-sealed edges. Engineered curved hems. Jackets appear multiple times. Low-cut jackets and horizontal pockets give things a streetwear posture. New shapes appear. Tracksuits merge into new forms. Leggings fuse with trousers. Jackets and tops become one ultra-fitted piece.

Footwear anchors the collection in the everyday. Manhattan, Demna’s first sneaker for Gucci, combines an ultra-minimal basketball shape with the slip-on ease of a mocassino. The Giovanni and Cupertino loafers erase the stiffness of traditional leather shoes, softening them into something that moves with you rather than against you.

Throughout the presentation, the soundtrack (five distinct genres curated by Loki) mirrors the collection’s juxtapositions. It is classical and contemporary, chaotic and cohesive, much like the mix of archetypes on the runway.

Interviewed by Christos Christou

Your journey has taken you from Greece to London and into the global fashion world. What was the turning point when you knew fashion was your calling?

Grew up inside art. My mother studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Athens, my father lived in fashion, so creativity wasn’t a choice it was the air. I had the references before I had the words. Passion showed up early, discipline came later on when I went to Central Saint Martins & Marangoni.

Somewhere between obsession, temptation and hard work, I stopped being a kid and became something new. A new person that had the guts to dress Gaga and Madonna, live, create fall in love and party hard with Lindsay Lohan. ;)

You’ve worked with major houses like Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford. What’s one lesson from those environments that continues to shape your design DNA?

At McQueen, I was designing embroideries, and my creativity was pushed to its limits. I learned how to illustrate emotion — that nothing is accidental, that chaos only works when it’s controlled. Tom Ford was the most charming person I’ve ever met. He introduced me to the world of fashion marketing and branding, where sexuality stopped being a taboo and became powerful, refined, and confident. I worked on pieces later worn by Anna Wintour, even at a dinner with Barack Obama — that was the moment I realized my work can reach a massive audience and the power to be seen by millions around the world.

Your work often challenges traditional gender and beauty norms. How do you approach designing for people rather than for categories?

I don’t design for genders; I design for desire. Bodies are just vessels; attitude is the real silhouette. When you strip the rules away, what’s left is power, vulnerability, sex. That’s where my work lives. Clothes should flirt, provoke, and give people the choice to define themselves. Fashion is language it shows our ethos, who we are or who we want to be, before we ever speak. Look at Madonna: from the very beginning, her fashion spoke first. Provocative, conceptual, fearless — you knew exactly what she wanted to say before she even started singing.

You joined Greece’s Next Top Model as one of the main judges, bringing a fresh and international perspective to the show. How did this opportunity come to you, and what made you say yes?

I’m always surrounded by people who push me further. A friend suggested it, the timing felt right, TV came when I was ready. I wanted to shake things up and push the girls and the boys, make them see fashion isn’t just clothes. It’s attitude, confidence, owning your story. I wanted to bring the global, modern edge that I’ve learned in Europe working with mega brands such as Burberry, Erdem and Victoria Beckham. Also Fashion people are real people bold, alive, part of life, not stuck in a bubble.

Stepping into the GNTM judging panel introduced you to a new level of visibility and connection with emerging talent—how has that experience, along with the responsibility it carries, influenced you personally and creatively?

GNTM isn’t just judging,  it’s feeding off the fearless boys and girls, breaking rules, and keeping everything real. It pushes me to take risks I might never have tried on my own. Watching them claim their space reminds me why I do what I do. We  create, to challenge, and to make people feel alive and stronger. I wanted the models to break the norms and find an unapologetic existence, that’s the kye from a model to become a super model.

Fashion today is deeply connected to personal storytelling. With House of Jaffa’s bold Queer Middle Eastern aesthetic, what story were you aiming to tell when you founded the brand, and how has that vision evolved through your work today?

House of Jaffa was born in London, but its soul comes from Jaffa — the port of Andromeda, where the sky bleeds into the sea. I’ve always been obsessed with the constellations that guided travellers, the myths of heroes like the Dioscuri, and the raw, electric energy of bodies in motion. Our designs are charged with desire, with tension, a celebration of bold, fearless beauty. House of Jaffa isn’t about borders or labels it’s about the journey, the fire, the light, and the thrill of being unapologetically you.

The label blends Mediterranean romanticism with gender-fluid silhouettes. How do cultural roots influence your creativity?

I’m Greek, but my heritage traces back to merchants who moved from Spain to Italy, through Asia Minor, and into Greece. Golan comes from French, Moroccan, and Egyptian roots, with a grandfather who was a diplomat and a father who grew up all across Africa. We both carry layered histories, and grew up on varied and rich iconography and superstitions. We fused all of that with our London multiculturalism education.

Our creative start point comes from the Mediterranean sun on bare, tanned skin, the heat in August that makes you sweat and burn with desire.

House of Jaffa explores identity, sensuality, and freedom. In today’s climate, do you feel fashion can still be a form of activism?

Fashion is the body, desire, and danger you wear. At House of Jaffa, every piece drips with lust, tension, and skin-on-skin heat, it provokes, it questions, it seduces. Dressing isn’t just clothes; it’s an act, a performance, a little rebellion you carry on your own body.

You and Golan Frydman co-founded House of Jaffa. How would you describe your creative chemistry?

Working with Golan is love and trust in motion. We play ping-pong with ideas until a new monster is born  wild, raw, demanding attention. Then we tame it, illustrate it, dress it in silks, cottons, and linens, and bring it to life

Many creative duos struggle with balancing personal and professional life.How do you and Golan maintain harmony between the two?

of course we do. It’s a challenge like any couple. But the silver lining? Our work fuels our chemistry. We fight, we laugh, we push each other… and sometimes the tension turns into something electric. That energy seeps into the brand, making it bolder, wilder, and undeniably alive.

As one of the few Greek fashion figures who is openly gay and open about your relationship with Golan, what does that visibility mean to you personally and creatively?

Fuck the Homophobes, they are medieval suppressed little beings.

I spent my adult life in London sexuality, origin, gender… none of it’s a label there. It’s just life. We’re all different. That’s the point. What matters is embracing love, companionship, and celebrating who we are.

In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are being challenged globally, what do you believe the queer community needs most right now?

I don’t do speeches, that’s not me. But here’s the truth: queer people are just people. No apologies, no labels, we live, we desire, we move through the world like anyone else. And when rights are taken away, that’s when you get up and fight. Make space for a better future.

What’s next for the House of Jaffa?

The brand started in the shadows, cruising, hushed lust, back-alley encounters behind the Ottoman hammam. Now, House of Jaffa is diving headfirst into myth, desire, and Mediterranean heat. We’re twisting the story of Andromeda, tied to the rock to be sacrificed, and the Dioscuri, two brothers who died for each other’s love.  Moments where gods, monsters, and humans collide in lust and vanity. And here’s a scoop for you… ;) After shows in London, Paris, and Jaffa, our next stop will be Athens this May.

And finally — what does freedom mean to Eddie?

Freedom… Is doing what I want. Living, creating, and moving through the world without caring what labels others choose to use for me, their gossip, their shallow ideas about me are meaningless. And freedom from this means Following my instincts, taking risks, making mistakes, and owning it all.

The body becomes a stage where gender rehearses itself; endlessly, restlessly. One moment, the chest is armour: sculpted, hard, virile. The next, it is pierced by softness: glitter, petals, shadows of leaves. Butler reminds us that gender is never essence but repetition, a series of acts that harden into “truth.”

Yet in the cracks of performance, vulnerability seeps through. Flowers erupt from the waistband, not as decoration but as insurgents. They expose the absurdity of virility when stripped of its theatre. Muñoz would call this a glimpse of queer futurity: masculinity remade in colour, light, and excess.

Ahmed teaches us that orientations matter, and here, the body bends, twists, reclines into new alignments that disorient the straight line of heteronormativity. Each image oscillates. The stripes reads a prison of expectation, yet also a runway for camp. The torso flexes, but the hand trembles. Glitter wounds and heals at the same time.

This is not contradiction but coexistence: virility and vulnerability locked in the same frame, refusing to cancel each other. The battle is not to defeat masculinity but to expose its costume. To wear it, distort it, queer it until its weight gives way to possibility.

Pietro Boselli Gets Wet — And Philosophical — in His Steamiest Shoot Yet

Pietro Boselli is no stranger to thirst traps — but his latest series dives deeper. Shot against the sun-drenched backdrop of Piana degli Ulivi di Ostuni, Aliquid Aqua Inest (Latin for “there is something in the water”) sees the sculpted polymath turning a simple outdoor shower into a moment of sensual meditation.

Yes, the water clings. Yes, the light hits just right. But beneath the heat and skin, there’s something more: a quiet invitation to rethink what pleasure, wellness, and modern masculinity really look like.

With 3.4 million Instagram followers and counting, Pietro isn’t just serving body — he’s curating a lifestyle. Call it la dolce vita 2.0: equal parts philosopher and fantasy, sweat and soul.

These aren’t just hot pics — they’re a vibe, a vision, a challenge to live (and look) beautifully.

LOEWE’s Fall/Winter 2025 Campaign: A Study in Craft

Tom Holland for Prada Paradigme Fragance Campaign

Tom Holland Fronts Prada Paradigme: A New Expression of Modern Masculinity

In Prada's latest fragrance campaign, Paradigme, actor Tom Holland embodies a quiet confidence that mirrors the scent itself — refined, grounded, and refreshingly understated. Paradigme reflects a modern shift in masculinity, where presence is valued over projection and grooming becomes an act of self-care rather than performance.

The fragrance opens with a bright note of Calabrian bergamot, while a heart of bourbon geranium introduces a crisp, herbaceous green that disrupts conventional woody structures. Anchored by an ambery woody base, Paradigme achieves a sophisticated duality — where verdant freshness tempers warmth and tradition meets subtle rebellion.

This duality is echoed in the bottle design. Prada’s iconic inverted triangle is reimagined in a gradient lacquer that fades from black to green, visually articulating the tension between structure and fluidity.

With Holland as its face, Prada Paradigme positions itself as fragrance-as-accessory — an invisible signature for those who seek depth without dominance. It’s a statement of modern elegance: noteworthy, never overbearing.
