Tom Ford Autumn/Winter 25 is one for the union of power and sensuality, re-writing velvet, leather, and silk for dark opera cinema of dark glamour.
Sexy power dressing has been reinterpreted by few better than Tom Ford. His Autumn/Winter 2025 New York collection was a tribute ode to sensual rebellion—a return to the brand’s origins in innovative tailoring, opulent texture, and night-time chic.
The runway shone with black lacquer floors and lavish red lighting that stroked on a mood of refined intimacy. Models strolled in sumptuous velvet blazers, silk chemises, and leather thigh-high boots, as if bearing a mood of a midnight film noir fantasy.
Ford’s inspiration for this line was the powerful, uncompromising woman—she who owns a room with understated confidence. Silhouettes were clean and streamlined, which were dramatised by sexy necklines and metallic hardware.
His pièce de résistance—a burgundy velvet tuxedo—was the very personification of his mantra: luxury is a state of mind. Accessories interpreted the mood—crystal chokers, oversized shades, and patent pleated handbags lent an air of restraint luxury.
With Hollywood drama and the sting of rebelliousness, Ford reinvented himself as fashion’s king of seduction. Every item in the collection implied a promise of excess—a step up to luxury who party all night.
