Forum Members Review Peter Hawkings’ Tom Tom Collection for Resort 2025

Peter Hawkings was appointed creative director of Tom Ford in April 2023, subsequent to the retirement of Tom Ford himself and selling his namesake label to Estée Lauder for a whopping $2.8 billion. Ford’s long-time associate is now three womenswear collections deep into his tenure as creative director, with his most recent mainline Fall 2024 collection (unveiled during Milan Fashion Week) declared a total triumph. Hawkings’ Resort 2025 collection is here, with the British designer harking back to the 1960s and using imagery of Veruschka von Lehndorff by Richard Avedon as inspiration. Throughout the glitzy and streamlined lineup, croc-embossed patent leather mini skirts and wet-look silk suits make an appearance alongside sky-high stilettos to complete the ultra-chic silhouette.

“I f*ck with Hawkings’ Tom Ford so much.” [LadyJunon]

“CHIC… I love it!” [DK92]

“I share the above sentiments and actually love Hawkings’ direction more than Tom’s final years!” [JohannesL]

“Hate the shoes and the choice of models. It’s good. It’s fine. It doesn’t scream fashion as it very safe. The models turns some very safe silhouettes into Hedi Slimane territory.” [Lola701]

“For me it’s dated, predictable; and each collection is blending into each other. Tom Ford gave us Martinis, this guy serves water in a Martini glass…” [jeanclaude]

For me it´s dated, predictable; and each collection is blending into each other. Tom gave us Martinis, this guy serves water with a Martini glass…

“I see a lot of Balenciaga 2005-2006 – the leggy, the mod vibe and the silhouette. This looks better than Hawkings’ previous shows but there is something with the models and the styling that make it old-fashioned still.” [PDFSD]

“I do agree that Hawkings is missing an authentic edge in his work. Maybe he needs someone on his team that he will listen to who can bring that. I think this is his best offering yet and feels more confident. I think this is a wonderful wardrobe.” [reese06]
