Yes the high water legs suit pants i refreshed my memory i remember them but what i mean is diversity of products ...its also a reason his brand failed there is no brand building products to keep people come back i repeat this because it's the key to building a brand.
The problem is that artistic clothes makers wanting to be creative directors or couturies while it's another type of job and profile of talent .....absolutely we could be surprised this is always a hope just as fact to see something great regardless if i am buying or just observing.
But objectively in the conversation were having here i see it flop more than working out and i am happy to be proven wrong when the actual new TF comes out.
i like TF i had stuff from first seasons but then stopped because i found it old fashioned very fast .....even if i always check the brand out time to time out of nostalgia for Tom´s Gucci hoping he would do something fire adn new again at TF.
Now for the first time of his career, he will have the funds to develop his entire vision.
I think his Berluti was heading, particularly in the winter seasons, into a direction similar to Tom Ford in terms of casual chic.
The difference with Tom Ford is maybe that Tom Ford is more formal.
But essentially, I’m happy for womenswear because Haider is making clothes for adult women and Tom Ford, no matter what is a brand for adult people. It is aspirational to the youth ( I see some of them with the fragrances, the underwear and sunglasses) but it’s adult.
My struggle with Tom Ford by Tom was always the lack of daywear, which was his strength at Gucci and YSL. He had some great moments ( SS2011, FW2012, SS2015, SS2019), some fun moments (SS2012, SS and FW 2013, SS2016) and a lot of unsure, unsettled moments in between where the highlights were the eveningwear but that wasn’t my lifestyle.
This will be Haider’s interpretation of Tom Ford after all. The brand is managed by Zegna. He will have access to much more ressources in terms of fabrics development than at Berluti, which despite being under LVMH was very very small.
He approached Gaultier with intelligence, taping into his own sensibility, Gaultier’s love of Tailoring, mixed with some Cardin and classic Couture references.
I expect the same kind of approach at Tom Ford, beyond the column dresses and the suits.
For me, Tom Ford at Gucci was about sex, at YSL was about sensuality but at his own brand, it’s about Power and boldness!
And when I think about Tilda, she is that! And funny enough, she has a movie with another woman that I associate with Tom Ford: Julianne Moore.
For me it’s a perfect match.
