Haider Ackermann took a call from Tom Ford, and everything changed: Now he's taking the helm of the brand Ford founded.

A Singular Man

It started with a call. "I was in a meeting, and my phone was ringing, and I saw it was Tom Ford," says Haider Ackermann. "My heart was beating, and I couldn't wait to get out of the meeting to listen to that tremendously attractive voice of his, because that's what he has. It's so strange: The minute you see his name, you have so many flashbacks—the design, the sensuality, the movies—[but] I knew what it was about."

Ackermann is relating this while sitting in a black chair in a white office at the Tom Ford headquarters in London. If everything here is monochromatic, the world for Ackermann has quite recently exploded into color. What the call was about was Ford asking the 53-year-old Colombian-born French designer to become creative director of the house Ford founded in 2005. "It wasn't much of a surprise," Ackermann says. "He wrote me a long, beautiful letter to congratulate me when I was at Berluti, so I knew he liked my work. All the same, I was nervous. You can go through a lot of emotions in one minute."
