Let me be brief here and let me make my feelings known and be
heard loud and clear. Tom Ford is many
things but the one thing he is not and never has been and that is a good
designer or for the most part a designer at all, he is a brilliant marketer,
his own best PR hack, a savvy stylist and very very full of himself.
Spring 2015 furthers my point and lays testament to my
claims. He perpetrates a fraud on the world of fashion and the panderers and
fawners eat it up as if it was true. This ridiculous excuse of a collection is
nothing more than hubris and grandiose dose of Levi’s, Calvin Klein and
Scheplers. Per chance the denim is woven in Tasmania by blind nuns but even
that would be a stretch for a pile like this. By the way, now he has glamorized
the eternal uniform of gay men everywhere. Are you a Lonesome Cowboy? Maybe a
hustler of days gone by?
I mean to say that does one think that giving the fringe on
a western jacket a haircut and adding said fringe to the yoke of a jean jacket
is worthy output for a designer of such supposed stature. Me thinks the gods of
fashion might be a bit nonplussed.
To me, this is Mr. Ford laughing at those who will praise
this as if it was the second coming. To me this is Mr. Ford laughing at the
gullible client who thinks that these clothes might actually be worth the price
and the hype. Lastly this is Mr. Ford laughing all the way to the bank and then
some!
If you are buying what he is selling then I wish you good
luck but I remain unimpressed other than with his powers of persuasion, press
and PR!
PS … he might have a bridge to sell you! And Blah Blah Blanks ... How do you
sleep at night?
