TOM FORD

Finally, after the top secret show at NY fashion week in September, Vogue (and Harper’s Bazaar UK) have some exclusive pics of Tom’s (sorry, Mr Ford’s – he apparently hates folks calling him Tom nowadays MYBAD) latest womenswear collection.
Feast your eyes…
Pics from vogue.com
Why was everyone going so insane about this collection? Well, apart from Ford’s 6 year hiatus in womenswear design, the show was ULTRA SUPER-EXCLUSIVE – even for fashion week! Only a few key insiders and photographer Terry Richardson were allowed and pics from the show have been kept in a locked safe guarded by giant tigers and rabid blood-thirsty fashion harpys since… Probably.
Oh yeah, and of course, THE MODELS! Um… Beyoncé Knowles, Lauren Hutton, Liya Kebede, Rinko Kikuchi, Stella Tennant, Amber Valletta, Natalia Vodianova, Karen Elson, Karlie Kloss, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Julianne Moore…
…Sorry, did I mention freakin‘ BEYONCE?
But enough about all that, now to the clothes. I adore this! It’s got everything I look for – fringing, texture, shape, tailoring… And that last shot of Karen Elson in that dress with THAT necklace – CRIPES I’m all agog.
There’s animal print and turbans and vibrant colour and big hair, but not a hint of tacky. (yeah, Lanvin I’m looking at you…) Classy and aspirational. I want to be a Tom Ford gal.

According to vogue.com Tom Ford had this to say:
I do not understand everyone’s need to see everything online the day after a show. 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!
(Ummm, I can get his point, but the last sentence seems a little bizarre since why else would he chose the likes of Beyonce and Julianne Moore to model for him? Can’t QUITE get my head round that. He continues:)
There’s a continuity from what I was doing at YSL at the end; that’s the customer. 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!’ ”

More pics to be released in the months ahead, I’ll be obsessively googling Beyonce Tom Ford Show till then.
EDIT: Here’s some more pics from Harpers Bazaar UK:

But Topshop’s jumpers are delightful…
Three of the best:
Black laddered chain jumper £45
Premium black suede panel sweat top £45
Knitted ostrich feather jumper £75
Almost makes all the snow and slush and disruption worth it.

Hello, Hermione

There’s been so much hype about Emma Watson’s new haircut recently, which I am still very much on the fence about by the way, BUT instead of just reposting photos of her gamine crop I thought I’d share some of my favourite shots of her from Crash magazine taken last March.
I remember seeing these last year and it was the first time I’d ever seen her looking so couture and chic. Although her hair’s still long here, you can’t really tell. Wonder if this is where she got the inspiration for her new do?
Anyway, enjoy:
Be still, my beating heart
