Haider Ackermann Appointed Tom Ford Creative Director
In the endless saga of musical chairs inside the world of style, Haider Ackermann is introduced as artistic director of Tom Ford. The high artistic place on the style label owned by The Estée Lauder Companies (upon Tom Ford himself placing a $2.8 billion deal in 2022), has been left vacant since July, subsequent to the sudden exit of Peter Hawkings. Hawkings, a long-term deputy of Ford himself was artistic director for lower than twelve months.
The appointment of Haider Ackermann would possibly come as considerably as a (very-much welcomed) shock. Back in May, the revered Colombian-born French designer was introduced as Canada Goose artistic director. As of proper now, it isn’t identified whether or not Ackermann will stay at Canada Goose. Ackermann’s appointment at Tom Ford is efficient instantly, and will probably be based mostly in Paris. Mark your calendar for March 2025, and look ahead to the Fall 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week when Haider Ackermann will stage his official debut as Tom Ford artistic director. Already, the suspense is killing us.
