a new dance for Heather Ackermann: tom Ford unveils its fall/winter 2025 campaign

tom Ford is gone, and the next chapter begins with the debut of designer Heather Ackermann‘s Fall/Winter 2025 campaign, which is a nod to the runway showcased at Paris Fashion Week in March, and heralds a new era of the brand’s sensual aesthetic with Heather’s delicate, understated touch.

tom Ford’s legacy, reimagined by Heather Ackerman

set against a backdrop of frosted mirrors and intimate, stark white spaces, the campaign features models in striking leather coats and vividly colored tailored suits. It’s Heather Ackerman’s homage to the brand’s core DNA – the sensuality that founder Tom Ford built – but also her own take on it. Through restrained movement and subtle tension, she creates a new direction for Tom Ford, expressing a sexiness that is implied rather than overt.

collection highlights

color: Ackerman’s favorite soft pastels are paired with Tom Ford’s signature grays and blacks for depth.

silhouettes: The silhouettes themselves are emphasized, with structured shapes and understated detailing rather than flashy embellishments. a thin belt over bare skin or a faux shirt cuff peeking out from under a sleeve creates an ascetic, dangerous sexiness.

genderless: A contemporary twist was injected through genderless pieces that blurred the lines between male and female.

heather Ackermann likened her debut show to “the beginning of a new dance,” and with Tom Ford as her partner, she heralded the new steps to be taken. The Fall/Winter 2025 campaign is a powerful and beautiful first impression of what’s to come. the fashion world is eager to see how this next chapter unfolds.
