Haider Ackermann's debut collection for Tom Ford has sparked discussions about the brand's signature sensuality. While Ackermann's vision diverges from traditional notions of raw sexuality, as seen in Ford's previous work, he presents a unique interpretation that blends intellectualism with sensuality. The collection, characterized by an imaginative set design reminiscent of a bathhouse and strong leather elements, delivers a fresh queer perspective. Ackermann's approach emphasizes sensuality as a lingering, thoughtful experience, rather than mere physical expression, challenging the conventional boundaries of fashion's portrayal of desire.
"Ackermann is after something different, an intellectual tantrism that lingers in the mind, rather than just the body."
"The set alone, made of steamy glass walls that spoke directly to the fantasy of a bathhouse, was enough to appease the imagination of any raging homosexual."
