Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Paris Fashion Week

Seduction is a dialogue, ignited by a gaze. To seduce is to see and to be seen by the object of one’s desire, drawing close, enticing touch. Desire is engrained in the spirit of this house, suffused like a heady scent in the rooms in which I keep on dancing. Bathed in moonlight reflected on the midnight blue of lacquer as deep as seawaters, this collection is woven with desire. The verticality of the silhouette solicits or accompanies gestures that reveal and attract, fragilities that win over, and the emergence of hints of something dark underneath: skin that flashed through slits or appears through lace, a metal ring on a pair of sandals, a leather bra that peeks a boo.

The eyes are stimulated by the noble glare of the whites, by the sensual depth of the browns and the blacks, lit up by the sudden rushes of the yellow, the orange, the pastel blue. Touch is pleased by silk, leather, cashmere. I see nobility in the characters that inhabit this vision, with their graphic bangs and lips that suddenly glisten in color, in the seductive dignity of their vertical tailoring, in the flow of flou, in the directness with which they show skin and hint at sport. Nobility is not a crest, but a way to carry oneself, believing in beauty as a means of resistance, and using it as such. If just for one day, we can be heroes.
