Now we all love Tom Ford. Yes love is a strong word, but love we do, and as a result of this strange lovin for the former Gucci chief we absorb everything he does, so it’ll come as now surprise that we already have our hands on the latest issue of AnotherMan with the glorious Tom on the front cover, and inside? Well inside Tom shares with us his top 5 tips to becoming a modern gentleman. Yes we feel more refined already . . . Excuse me. Sorry madam, is this seat taken?
The man that brought sex back to fashion has so far avoided returning to designing womenswear, some would say it was designing for women that made the name Tom Ford symonomous with high octant glamour, sex and fashion that you had to have, right now! This return to womenswear after six years while shunning “the immediacy of fashion”, refusing to showcase any of his hotly anticipated spring/summer 2011 looks online or elsewhere until December leaves us salivating at the anticipation of what may be to come . . .
“I don’t get the need for this immediacy. In fact, I think it’s bad,” Ford says. “The way the system works now, you see the clothes, within an hour or so they’re online, the world sees them. They don’t get to a store for six months. The next week, young celebrity girls are wearing them on red carpets. They’re in every magazine. The customer is bored with those clothes by the time they get to the store. They’re overexposed, you’re tired of them, they’ve lost their freshness.”
Well whatever may be, I know that AP. is going to be say by the computer waiting for those images to start rolling through . . .
