As you have probably heard by now, Tom Ford revealed his highly anticipated collection for women at a secret show in the intimacy of his Madison Avenue store yesterday. Perhaps best of all, Ford chose to unveil his collection by using famous celebrities, singers, and actresses rather than limiting himself to models. Certainly worst of all is the fact that he banned cameras at the show (other than Terry Richardson) so we have nary a glimpse of the goodness, though I did hear that Carine Roitfeld was wearing a black lace lingerie dress from Ford's Yves Saint Laurent era. Ford himself narrated the collection, introducing each model and describing every garment in detail as it graced the runway.
Modeling the sexy collection were Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Julianne Moore (the female lead in Ford's first film A Single Man
Cathy Horyn of The New York Times gives us an idea of the clothes: “Sharp pantsuits in black silk or a leopard pattern, gorgeous black evening clothes with sheer blouses, corsets and maybe a shrug in shredded tulle, impeccable details like hammered gold jewellery, stilettos with ankle ties and seamed black stockings." The collection will be available at Tom Ford stores internationally in February.
