RUNWAY: Tom Ford FW18
It's been twelve years since
Tom Ford opened his first ever stand-alone boutique under his own name, in New York, naturally. That boutique offered luxurious men's suits, shirts, ties and accessories. Now, he's come home, so to say (he's originally from Texas). Tonight marked the first ever stand-alone menswear runway show for Ford's eponymous label. The result was a who's-who in the celebrity and fashion world, all sitting front row and in their best Tom Ford outfit. The clothes in this FW18 collection were equally as glamorous with plenty of fabulously swanky evening jackets, a signature for the designer, as well as plenty of sportswear from beautifully tailored pants to flight jackets with fur detailing. Speaking of fur, Ford has recently become a Vegan and his aim is now to utilize less fur in his collection. In 2017, it was announced that Ford will also start to sell Tom Ford-branded underwear and what a better way to show off this new venture with a finale full of half-naked, hard-bodied models wearing said underwear, which offered plenty in terms of styles from glittery to animal print and everything in between, all paired with Ford's signature cashmere socks, of course.
