Tom Ford Woman

 If you remember, on September the 9th i posted about Tom Ford women collection. After 6 years of waiting, after all the Shops openings, after a great movie (A Single Man), Tom Ford awaken the Venus inside every woman. If there is anyone who can make cloth, and make them perfectly, it is the one and only "Mr. Ford" like he prefers to be called.  Man tailoring or woman chic, accessorize and perfume, everything this designer touches turns into perfection.
 Mr. Ford presented his cast himself to his 100 invitees as “many of the world’s most inspirational women” . The cast included Miss Lauren Hutton, Miss Liya Kebede, Miss Rinko Kikuchi, Miss Rachel Feinstein, Miss Lisa Eisner, Miss Beyoncé Knowles, Miss Marisa Berenson, Miss Stella Tennant, Miss Amber Valletta, Miss Natalia Vodianova, Miss Karen Elson, Miss Lakshmi Menon, Miss Karlie Kloss, Miss Abbey Lee Kershaw and Miss Julianne Moore!
 Everything around this come back was so discreet, so secret and Mr. ford wanted it to be so. Julianne Moore, the image of the brand, “He asked me to do this six months ago, but I thought we’d just all be standing around at a cocktail or something. So when I got there and he said we had to walk, I said, ‘Holy cow!’ ” There was no cameras allowed in the room and Tom said “There’s a continuity from what I was doing at YSL at the end; that’s the customer” to describe his collection in few words; “The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love. I want to be touching the skin; I prefer no bra—I want to be able to slip in my hand.”

In the collection, no red carpet items were shown and Mr. Ford explained “I do not understand everyone’s need to see everything online the day after a show,” he says. “I don’t think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business—not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that’s going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week? My customer doesn’t want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!”,  “Now I’m taking it back!” He relents just a little: “I’ll wait to see who’s nominated for the Oscars. Then I will offer to dress one person.”  “It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, ‘God, I can’t find that anywhere!’ ” “I want this to be somewhere a woman knows she can go when she wants a great jacket—not a fake expensive jacket, something that has intrinsic value. I don’t think fashion has to change every five minutes. I’d like these to be clothes you can wear for a long time—ten, 20 years; pass on to your daughter. Why buy vintage when you can open your own closet!” 

T.Ford added, “I’ve never been happier in my life,” he says “Maybe it’s because I’ve learned over the past five or six years that I do have certain talents and gifts I maybe wasn’t sure of before. That sounds crazy. But I think I had a deep insecurity that this was all really somehow smoke and mirrors.” “What I want is the freedom to say, I really like fashion and I’m going to come back my way and never have some corporate person say, ‘But you can’t do it that way.’ My goal is to be like Armani and Chanel.”


 After these words from the Great Tom Ford i have nothing else to say. Enjoy the photos and have a good day.

Just one detail, T.F. collection will be small and exclusive, and sold only in his sixteen menswear stores, until next season. There will be no repeat of the launch show; magazine editors (no news reporters) may view the next collection at his showroom in London -that's my man-. And next fall there is to be a major launch of Tom Ford makeup, designed in collaboration with Charlotte Tilbury (you already know -I hope- the TF 12 colors lipstick line).
