Tom Ford presented his final collection for his eponymous label,
announcing his departure following the brand’s sale to Estée Lauder, Tom Ford has revealed the designer’s replacement, and it’s coming from inside the house. Peter Hawkings will assume the role of creative director of Tom Ford in a move that didn’t come as too much of a surprise—there were rumors that Hawkings would take over the post following Ford’s departure.
Hawkings got his start in the industry in 1998, initially working under Ford on the menswear collections at Gucci. In 2006, the designer left Gucci to join Ford at his eponymous brand, where he was put in charge of the label’s menswear categories, a position he has held ever since. Upon his ascension to the position of creative director, Hawkings will take on the responsibilities of the brands womenswear, menswear and accessory categories.
In addition to Hawkings, Guillaume Jesel has been announced as the new president and chief executive officer, replacing Domenico De Sole, who held the position since the brand’s founding. Jesel has led Tom Ford Beauty since 2014, and was instrumental in building it into the major brand it is today. His appointment proves an emphasis will be placed on the beauty side of operations at Tom Ford, not a surprising revelation, considering it was Estée Lauder that bought the brand.
Ford and De Sole will continue to serve as brand advisors until the end of the calendar year. Then, Ford will focus on his film production company, Fade to Black. The company has already produced two films written, produced, and directed by the designer—2009’s
