Tom Ford, a brand long associated with the sexy, glamorous aesthetic of its eponymous founder, has a new creative director: Haider Ackermann, a designer known for his superb tailoring skills and mastery of varied materials.
Ackermann assumed the company’s creative mantle Tuesday (Sept 3), just weeks after Peter Hawkings, a right-hand man of 25 years to designer Tom Ford, left the company in July.
