Haider Ackermann has made a name for himself in the world of high fashion thanks to his sensual, flawless tailoring and trend-setting designs. His designs, often marked by elegant draping and a mastery of form, exhibit a quiet yet powerful allure. Now, as the new creative director at Tom Ford, Ackermann is set to bring his signature blend of elegance and edge to a brand synonymous with glamour and sophistication.
Before this pivotal role, Ackermann made waves with his label, a collection renowned for its intricate designs and sculptural draping. Though his label shuttered during the pandemic, his influence remained undiminished. During his three seasons at Berluti, he revolutionised menswear with his revolutionary tailoring and streamlined designs, solidifying his status as a visionary.

Major fashion brands like Dior and Martin Margiela have long been interested in Ackermann's talents, but he didn't break into menswear until 2011 when he was a guest designer at Pitti Immagine. From there, his collections continued to captivate, earning him accolades such as the Swiss Textile Award and the Fashion Group International Award for Design. Even Karl Lagerfeld once remarked that Ackermann would be his ideal successor at Chanel—a nod to the designer’s extraordinary talent.
