Tom Ford NYFW F/W19 – Review
INSPIRED BY: The need for pause amid the chaotic 24/7 news cycle. Designer Tom Ford opted to deviate from his signature vampy aesthetic in favor of a gentler collection, centering on slouchy looks with a sharpened focus on tailoring and comfort.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Cindy Crawford celebrating her birthday at Italian hot spot Madeo in Beverly Hills, before skirting the paparazzi and heading to Soho House West Hollywood for a signature Picante de la Casa cocktail.
WEAR IT TO: Make an entrance with swagger as ‘90s dapper police detective Dick Tracy at your bestie’s Mad Men-themed New Year’s Eve shindig at the Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village.
FIRST READ: Despite claims backstage that he was turning down the volume for fall, it’s important to remember that Ford operates at a higher vixen level than most. Fans delighted in the series of relaxed-fit silk pants rolled up at the ankle for an undone look, paired with draped blouses, ladylike scarves, and paired with fur coats, equestrian-style leather blazers and structured trenches.
BEST LOOK: A pair of steel gray silk pants, paired with a matching Crêpe De Chine top, a powder pink faux-fur midi coat, purple velvet ankle-strap peep-toe platform pumps and a diamante neck tie.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Fuzzy fake fur fedoras, worn throughout in complementary muted hues, and sparkly scarves, which added a nighttime feel to slinky day looks.
SPOTTED IN THE FROW: Courtney Love, Ansel Elgort, Violetta Komyshan, Victor Cruz, Cam Newton, Odell Beckham Jr., Charlie Plummer, Karlie Kloss, Joe Alwyn, Danai Gurira, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sebastian Stan, Poppy Delevingne.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Is the after-party in the same venue like last season?”
COLOR WHEEL: Brown, black, eggplant, khaki, steel, navy, gray, silver, charcoal, blush, white, blue, apricot, lavender, soft pink, mauve.
