It’s A Dance. Tom Ford Resort 2026

Haider Ackermann likes to compare his creative endeavor at Tom Ford to a dance. In his hands, it can be slow and sensual in one moment, then electric and seductive in the next. His sesort 2026 collection – an effortless bridge between his brilliant debut and an even stronger sophomore offering – shows just how fluently Ackermann speaks Ford’s design vocabulary.

In his press notes, the designer described the “unremitting verticality” of his vision for Tom Ford’s “beautiful creatures,” a concept rendered sublimely through masterfully elongated silhouettes, punctuated by bold color accents (green! blue! pink!) and razor-sharp shoulders. The collection – now arriving in stores – also introduces Ackermann’s take on day-ready pajama suits, for both him and her, that feel almost too good to be true.

If this collection were a dance, it would land somewhere between Ralph Fiennes’s unpredictable moves in “A Bigger Splash” and the magnetic elegance of Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly in the “Broadway Melody Ballet” sequence. Delightful.
