Subtlety was ruled out from the start. For his grand reentrance to the formal fashion schedule, Tom Ford booked Lancaster House, a historic former home of English aristocrats. It was by far the most impressive venue on the London circuit. The room was waiting to be wowed, which is what Ford knows how to do.
On each seat was a simple white card that read “Cross Cultural Multi Ethnic,” and Ford wasted no time making his point that “that’s what the world is,” as he said after the show. “When you start thinking about clothes that are going to walk down a runway and be photographed, and all those images go out into the world, you think very differently about the clothes,” Ford said. “They have to be amped up.”

I admire Tom Ford but this collections is well… not as well put together as all of the other. The pieces themselves are gorgeous but when put all together they just look something that Russian women used to wear in the 90’s/ beginning of 00’s.

^^^ Yeah I agree, I feel like all the textures and colours and furs are way too much together. I don’t even think it’s the styling at fault, the collection in general just seems like there is no cohesiveness whatsoever. Even the form fitting pieces weren’t tailored very well, disappointing! I would like to know what he drew inspiration from though.
