I am a huge fan of Tom Ford, so when I was doing a bit of research for spring/summer shopping I just had to write about his new collection. Tom Ford’s spring collection could be described as a praise to Ford’s 90’s work and creations with emphasis on rock & roll age and feminine sensuality. Ford mentioned that his inspirations this season came from Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino. The womenswear line is long and lean, silhouette is contemporary chic with edgy attitude. The designer uses a few of his best hits from Gucci days, highlighting 90s glam that is seen through bronze, gold and metallic colours, wide pants, lace and sheer chiffons.
Looking at the runway show, one can notice a never ending theme of long legs. Most of the designs: dresses or skirts are above the knee, short and sexy. Dresses come with long sleeves, tunic style or cut out. The designer offers platforms clogs and smoky eyes make up, leggings and cape combo to complete the rock-n-roll style. There is lots of black: tops, pants, dresses, bead and sequin embellishments are used across the collections to create edgy and bold look.
For a red carpet knockout look Ford gives us encrusted in twinkling black sequins, sheer gowns with satin bra cups.
Yes, Ford’s creations are pricy. But its a totally worth the investment because these pieces are timeless and easy to wear to a cocktail party, formal event, a dance club. Which one is your favourite?
