Tom Ford Catwalk Report

Catwalk report written vocab for video:

Tom Ford brings a gritty edge to the catwalk ready for spring/summer 2015. Models with legs that really went on forever, clad in giant sweeping flares, or stretched out under mini tunics with plunging necklines, peeping through sheer hold-ups and perched atop massive peep toe wedges.

From the dramatic charcoal black smoky eye and messy rock chick hair adorned by all of the models a gritty, matted, been-up-all-night sixties vibe was brought across so well through the collection.

Inspired by his own collection of vintage Carlo Molino photographs in addition to some of his own designs from the late Nineties. He was smart to weave in a few re-jigs of his greatest Gucci hits; a white long sleeved mini dress with circular cut-outs at the hip for example recalled the white jersey gown from Gucci’s autumn/winter 1996 campaign.

The only flaw in the show, which after reading reviews have been the way that the models walk – They need to be firm and fiery in there walk to bring alive the punk, dramatic fire that the collection brings, and many of the models don’t seem to bring this across very well.

The show rounded up with a series of knockout pieces from the collection. One of the pieces that stood out for me was the white slitted and cut out gown with mesh bra cups, that were detailed with red and silver chiffon applique petals across the nipples, which was worn by Rhianna to the formal amfAR Inspiration Gala in LA.

Black gowns decorated in sequined harnesses or with satin bra cups and a scattering of chiffon applique petals. Rock-ability style black leggings and dramatic cape combo – entirely encrusted in twinkling black sequins from head to toe, is so dramatic and eye catching.
