Dear Tom,
I know I am not the
most faithful of fans but I always look and I am always happily surprised when you
hit the mark and this season you hit it out of the park. I really love this collection, even if your
clothes are not for the financially challenged, they sure do look rich and chic
and you sure found a way to show off the skills of your factories.
The tailoring aspect is with little competition; it is
impeccable and flawless in design and execution. The “chalk marking” is just wonderful if
looked at as a technical feat as well as displaying a rare sense of humor. I was just loving so much of that whether on
a suit, outerwear or shirt, I am in love.
The suede shirts/sweaters were just exquisite; you could see
the suppleness and light weight quality as well as, again, almost unrivaled
workmanship that goes into the making of these pieces. Then we go to the knitwear which is also
beyond the pale. A lot of it had a graphic quality to it and yet my favorite
was the “confetti cable” which reminded me of confetti due to the seemingly
random knitting of the cables and the loose stitches revealing the white from
the underpinnings… whew!
Kudos to you on this whole edging, graphic and tongue in
cheek attitude of the collection and while parts were amusing, it was never
ever a joke. It is only when one
revisits the photos, it is then that one
realizes that many times you “chalk out” the details on a top or jacket and
then later on render it in reality with all the same details ..Brilliant
indeed!
So Tom, it was real really fabulous and even the pants
looked great without any gimmicks except for the self-belt. What I love about these kinds of collections
from you is that when I like them, I really love them as you just hammer it
home with great ease and such a wonderful display of what luxury top tier
clothes should be.
So maybe next time you are in NYC we have a coffee and
chat... ciao ciao, kiss kiss... and again it was just wonderful!
Fondly,
J
