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.
