It’s done. Tom Ford has just launched his latest collection as a designer for his eponymous brand, after 13 years of building the brand. The 61-year-old designer, who intends to devote himself to a career as a director, revisits his main collections and invites top models to participate in the fashion film, including the Brazilian Carol Trentini, who has a 20-year career.
At his side there are also Amber Valletta, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss and Karen Elson. The tops are in a showcase, like in a museum, in a white setting, and Tom Ford, from the outside, looks like a master, directing the movements of the beauties. In one of the films, produced by Steven Klein, everyone is in black and desperate, as if reacting to the news that Tom Ford will abandon fashion creations.
Recalling that in November the sale of the brand to the beauty company Estée Lauder was announced, which in turn licensed the Tom Ford name to Ermenegildo Zegna. The Italian company has the right to produce women’s and men’s collections, accessories, underwear and jewelery for 20 years and a 10-year renewal. Beauty products are on behalf of Lauder. The sale was announced for $2.8 billion.
If Tom Ford failed to elevate his creations to the magical condition of desire, as he did when he led Gucci and Saint Laurent, in the 90s, the last collection called “Archives”, in this reinterpretation of the creations of his brand, there is no shortage of ultra sexy and very glam pieces, with glitter, velvets and animal prints. Of course, he shows up with his usual look: suit, tie, shoes and black glasses, with a white shirt.
In one of the films of the latest collection, in which she recreates her favorite looks, there is the white hooded dress worn by Gwyneth Patrow at the 2012 Oscars, as well as velvet suits. Also remembering that the red velvet suit was one of her most iconic creations for Gucci, in the mid-90s. It was worn by the American actress at the time and also in 2021, when the Italian brand turned 100.
