Nas páginas de dezembro da Vogue americana chegam as fotos das roupas que marcam o retorno do diretor-designer à moda feminina. O desfile dessas criações ocorreu a portas fechadas, sem fotógrafos, em setembro passado em Nova York. A revista mensal americana será a primeira a publicar as fotos assinadas pelo mago do objetivo Steven Meisel. Diante dessas roupas, no entanto, permanece uma dúvida quanto a estética assim tão retrô, será o grande trunfo para a primeira coleção feminina assinada inteiramente Tom Ford? Serão as milhardarias ao redor do mundo a dar a resposta!
“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!’ ” Women friends had been “begging” him to make them suits as soon as they heard he was starting a menswear line; he couldn’t find anything to buy his mother; it all built up. “I want this to be somewhere a woman knows she can go when she wants a great jacket—not a fake expensive jacket, something that has intrinsic value. I don’t think fashion has to change every five minutes. I’d like these to be clothes you can wear for a long time—ten, 20 years; pass on to your daughter. Why buy vintage when you can open your own closet!”
