Tom Ford S/S 2026 Paris

[sonofagunns]

It is hieratic, luxurious, icy, glacial. I really liked it, truly, but not as a Tom Ford show. At times I felt like I was watching an Armani runway. That rarefied atmosphere, the formal rigor, the cold and distant beauty... please tell me I was not the only one. Kjeldgaard’s obsession with sending models out in groups actually works in this context. Still, let’s be honest, the truly iconic moment would have been a finale with Mariacarla and Vittoria. The weak point was the soundtrack. Overbearing, dissonant, at times almost unbearable.

The Julia Nobis / Liu Wen moment should’ve been better. It didn’t seem rehearsed enough

Perfection.

So sexy it should be X-rated.

His flavor of sinister glamor is VERY nostalgic to me. I agree that there's something rather vampiric about his woman. Even the way they walked was like predator stalking prey. The final dress on Vittoria was my favorite. And those black contoured blazers too. So sleek. The set and soundtrack are a good example of how presentation can add to the clothes without upstaging them. The end with the two black columns and smoke was superb.

Also, not sure if it's coincidental, but I got some Armani references in there. Perhaps even some T Mugler.

I must admit though, the soundtrack eventually became unpleasant.

Wow i wish we got this at Gucci instead. Took him a season to get it together but finally the set and the clothes all worked together (we need to sit down and talk about thaat music choice). I don't see a haider collection with a tom ford tag anymore. I think this time he really challenged himself to combine his aesthetic with the tom ford woman.

now that's FASHION WOW JUST WOW LOVE IT

 

[Alquimista]

I don't even know what to say wow

These are clothes to intimidate people. Nothing cute here.

A bit of all of them. Even Vittoria, as much as I love her, seemed hesitant.

f*cking fabulous

Erin and Mariacarla got away with It because they are such professionals. Also the duo that came out with the bowl cuts and sheer black dresses did a fantastic job.

ugh Binx would have been perfect for this show

Kering doesn’t deserve him. It’s Tom Ford the man that suggested Haider (directly contact) for this job.

Also, not sure if it's coincidental, but I got some Armani references in there.

Their mutual obsession with Tadao Ando and restraint oriental sh*ts. I mean there’s a lot of references in his works from different great designers but he’s talent enough to make things still unapologetically Tom Ford.

Oh I want PDFSD to comment on this collection, kinda miss.

I loved every second of it. In a season where many designers tried to do 'sexy,' Haider showed how it’s truly done—beautifully, sensually, and in the most captivating way possible. The collection felt like the perfect fusion of Haider and Tom Ford. Easily my favorite show of the season (soundtrack included!) and it outshines the rest by far. It must have been absolutely tantalizing to experience in person!

OMG! Such a great collection. Love everything about it - the colours, the looks, the runway.

Maybe it's too early to say it, but it might be one of the best takeover of the brand in history.

And this is something I'd expect from Tom Ford, from PFW, from Haider. It's just mesmerising. The attitude, the POWER-dressing, the spirit. The Mugleresness to it (I just don't get why they haven't come up with resurrecting such an attitude with such an archive btw.). No bells and whistles - just strong silhouettes, great cast, great atmosphere.

Some people say it's too cold for Tom Ford...but I think it's exactly what it's needed - the mystery. Frankly, when I look at this collection, I get the vibe of the Gucci SS 1998 campaign. I also kinda feel it's like a twin of the JPG collection by Haider (concept and atmosphere-wise).

Not everything that Tom did was super upbeat and hot...and since it's Haider, we'll definitely get a bit of a cool...in both sense of the meaning. Much better than the debut.

Maybe the show experience could've been improved for the YT viewers, but still. So happy I had a chance to view it after work!

 

[MyNameIs]

What everyone else said. Fabulous.

The sheer shorts over the black thong on men looks so provocative.

 

[Gonzalo]

Adult models for the campaign, please. With a cold and perverse touch

 

[WAVES]

everything good has been said. naturally.
what a great collection it was from beginning to end!
I LOOOOVED THE MUSIC!

and to have my favourite Vittoria closing the show was just sublime.

 

[charles01]

ohhh i loved this, easily my favourite of the season so far!!!

 

[fruitdots]

It's about exactly what I expect from this pairing. It's very good, very Ford, very Ackermann—no surprises. But that's where I stand with regards to both of them; we'll probably see iterations of this collection for the next X many years, and we've already seen much of this in their previous work. So I applaud the spectacle, and the clothes stand up to said spectacle, but I'm not shocked or wowed.
