Funny enough, Tom Ford (the man) seems to be a fan of Vacarello's YSL. He praised him in an interview and wore his design to the MET Gala. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ford wants him to helm TF. That said, I absolutely agree with your statement. As much as I love Saint Laurent under Vacarello, it's really just excellent visuals elevating really generic clothes to high fashion.We've endured Anthony Vaccarello's hideous womenswear label for long enough when he emerged on the scene and I'm not sure he really ever showed a breakthrough collection until today that really confirmed an exceptional potential within him... not in the way most designers with promise and unique vision did. Designers like Riccardo Tisci or Haider Ackermann would come to mind.
What I am trying to say is that Peter Hawking deserves time to get into his shoes. He has until today shown three collections and while so far the huge directional message might be missing, he succeeded to confirm the polish and refinement that always balanced the vulgarity Tom Ford used to play with. He has a great eye for cut and the product he delivers looks desirable and timeless, that to me matters more than delivering just a daring show by baring the most unseen amount of hip bone or other of Vacarello's gestures that defined the beginning of his career - In the time since, he took a little bit here and there from the likes of other designers, from Isabel Marant to Tom Ford all the way through to using the established Hedi Slimane tailoring bases for Saint Laurent to come up with collections that praise the creation of image and not actual clothing design that informs anything. In fact, his vision is completely hollow, as good as the copyists from Zara or the likes.
TF woman i would say...... i don't see Hot girls wear it or glamour after it .....they are into Alaia or Miu Miu &co mix sexy and more cute easy or classy the row uniqlo vibes lolIt's hot and he keep the Tom Ford women at the top of the hot girls game he's a great cutter as well I love it
Exactly! I see a lot of Alaia around. I don’t like Pieter’s work and while I bought an Alaia dress recently, it was a version of Azzedine’s classic silhouette.TF woman i would say...... i don't see Hot girls wear it or glamour after it .....they are into Alaia or Miu Miu &co mix sexy and more cute easy or classy the row uniqlo vibes lol
Sorry, but what's a CD and AD. My first thought was Creative/Artistic Director, but that's Peter's job.^^^ No one could ever keep up with Lola when it comes to Tom LOL
(@THD96 :The Tom Ford label doesn’t need to be an edgy, leading, barrier-breaking fashion vision because that’s not who Peter is—nor was it even when Tom lead it. It’s not Tom Ford’s Gucci.
Peter just needs to remember to improve and elevate his strengths: Tailoring and luxury in its most unapologetic decadence. Adding inventive design flourishes from collection to collection is what will keep the label refreshed— not outlandish risks that propose nothing for the Tom Ford customer. But he is in desperate need of a new accessories and footwear team ASAP. … And new stylists… And new CD and AD. …And a new casting director.)
That makes sense. I was confused because these days, the CD/AD of the clothes is often also as the CD/AD of the branding.^^^ Yes, creative and art director— for the branding: Shows, presentations, campaign. …Unless Peter is also serving as CD/AD for the marketing LOL
At the same time, even with his standards, who is doing what Anthony is doing right now, except maybe for Hedi….I’m convinced Tom is after some Kering investment for his film production and/or need to associate with Anthony for clout. Because Tom’s standards are immensely more demanding than Anthony’s admittedly impressive branding for what is ultimately midrange reductive designs and even more meager, mediocre design talent.

Everything has to change but replacing him :-)^^^ No one could ever keep up with Lola when it comes to Tom LOL
