The Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection, designed by Haider Ackermann, lit up Paris Fashion Week with a cinematic spectacle. From skinny patent mesh coats in black, burgundy, and apple green, to tailored tuxedos and glossy menswear fabrics, Ackermann balanced sensuality and strength with his signature fluid touch.
Menswear That Blends Strength and Softness
Cashmere sweaters casually tossed over the shoulders Italian-style softened the muscular lines of leather jackets and tuxedos. A striking white suit with a matching sweater, and a satin tuxedo glistening with white studs, hinted at red-carpet glamour while keeping the masculine energy intact.
For stars like Janet Jackson and Pamela Anderson—both present at the show—these pieces were instant crowd favorites.
Haider Ackermann’s Signature Touch at Tom Ford
Ackermann has quickly made his mark at Tom Ford. His approach mixes film noir chic, luxury leather, and Italian finesse with daring transparency. Some looks pushed boundaries, like the see-through blue t-shirts layered over leather thongs—a risqué nod to shock value.
Celebrity Approval
The front row was star-studded: Pamela Anderson, Janet Jackson, Kate Moss, and Rita Ora rose to their feet the second the show ended. “Haider is a genius,” Jackson declared, celebrating his vision. Anderson, currently sporting red hair for an upcoming film role, admired the evolution of the Tom Ford brand under his creative leadership.
Why This Collection Matters for Menswear
For Spring/Summer 2026, Tom Ford menswear is about contrast—light and dark, fragile and strong. Haider Ackermann brought sex appeal with sophistication, ensuring that the Tom Ford man is as much a seducer as he is a style icon.
Haider embodies the brand’s best qualities, and he’s doing an excellent job! This is the best performance he’s given so far in Paris.
