Tom Ford S/S 2026 Paris

also the way Haider outshined the non event JW Dior debut šŸ˜­šŸ›
Not for everyone tbh. I'd say Jonathan concerned himself more with the house he works for now and its history, which he tried to interpret in various fresh ways; Haider is slightly adapting the things he has done before, so he has kind of made it easier for himself by deciding that Bowie-style suiting and Tilda promoting Black Orchid feel just right for TF.
 
But in the end of the day she is still cold and unreachable.
That’s probably the best way to describe the idea of a Tom Ford woman/man.

Interestingly, Horyn's main issue with the collection was how gendered the presentation was (women in gowns, suits and stilettos, men in loungewear and loafers). That said, she praised Versace and Dries Van Noten, so her opinion means absolutely nothing to me.
I respect her but the moment she displayed her obvious conflict of interest by walking the Balenciaga show, her opinion stopped having a meaning to me.

That was such a wrong move on her part, in a criminally bad outfit too…

I actually really enjoy the gendered presentation, not for political reasons, but I think it told some sort of a story. But also, if anything I feel that the men’s suits are now super accessible for women’s.
 
Me to she a very well seasoned critic and her praising versace was a no go for me. She's been to many versace shows and seen real sexy clothes and great workmanship and for her too entertainment that is silly. And why does everybody have a problem with gender all of a sudden? I thought the tom ford man last night was absolutely sexy. I thought also that the clothes had no sexual orientation. But I guess sexual orientation is a thing of the past and now we're on to gender.
she is just a pawn, saying whatever to be the majority view (in her tiny echo chamber which represents 5% of the population on a good day), to please the people around her so that she gets to be invited to certain shows, etc.
I mean, just look at the outfit she got from that Chanel couture experiment. If she was really serious about fashion or style she would have chosen something at the very least flattering rather than making her look like a hen.
Who cares about gender in this show. It's sexy. That's it. Did it give us chills? Yes. Did it give us some dark desires? Yes. It's not a dissertation in a gender studies PhD but a collection made to SELL.
 
^^^Cathy lost the plot a long long long time ago, when she blatantly would stan Raf while consistently trashing Hedi. Whether outright bias, desperately grasping for relevance like so many her age in the industry do, or just blatantly shilling, her words are as hollow as Alex Fury’s now paid words.

Pretentious and old.

The jock straps, the blazers with no pants… very gimmicky. Tired and creepy to be exact.

I want to feel what everyone else seems to feel about this show. I’ve watched it three times and looked at the images. The opening three suits were probably more Tom Ford than most of what he actually produced when he was at the head.

What I liked… The three opening suits were more tom ford than tom ford was at his own label. Great execution. The lace slip dresses were beautiful.

Meh…The sheer dresses with the thongs were fine but we’ve seen them at his label. I don’t remember the menswear at all. There’s nothing there and when there is, I don’t care for his choice in textiles

A good showing overall, but one that leaves me on the outside. I can appreciate the craft, but I can’t tap into the thrill others seem to feel with Haider at Tom Ford

If it’s not for you, then don’t try to convince yourself otherwise. Don’t sweat it, it’s only fashion. I’ve never liked Rick Owens even when he was supposedly good and when he designed for people, and not the denizens of Dune, and no one will convince me otherwise. I understand that there’s a legion of devotees that still pay Rick's bills: Mainly douchey-esque hetero guys committed to his platform sneakers and cyborg coats, and pansexual/gays committed to his plaformest of his platform boots to wear with their widest of shoulder-padded coats. You couldn’t feed me enough drugs to dress that way, and I always find his aesthetic even now as dated as Damir Doma/Nicolas Andreas Taralis/Lady Gaga, all best left in the late-2000s, frankly. But Rick and them are as much a part of the fashion family. And let’s be honest, for a very long time, the image of the Tom Ford male customer was just another variation of the hetero douchey type and the flashy dinner jacket with Birkin gay. Hopefully Haider’s austere take on Tom Ford sends both types running away LOOL

Pretentious? Because of the soundtrack? Don’t see a whiff of gimmicks/antics/stunts here. …Because that man that would dress this way, is also that man that would wear a leather thong, and absolutely a pair of leather 80s short shorts, likely behind closed door against his own. Again, amidst the hyperstylized aesthetic that’s treading on that razor fine line between real and surreal, it’s such a pragmatic, down-to-earth sensibility once the garments are separated as RTW pieces with his proposal of women and men. It’s clothing to make all your own, and for years and years to come. No other high profile label is apparently doing this, so good for Haider.

When taking in a presentation, there are always bound to be components— whether that’s some looks or some pieces, that are more a thorn on the side of the overall showing, for whatever reasons (…and mainly there to illicit as clickbait/editorialbait). There are absolutely looks that irritate me with this 9and no one will ever convene me that the past/sherbet palette will ever be awesome). Fortunately, the majority of the showing sways more to my own personal preferences and tastes. And that the women aren’t in silly cartoon footwear that has them looking squat/dumpy/cankled, or propped in even sillier and tired oversized shoulders, or something similarly desperately and annoying overly-burdened designs just to show unflattering proportions just for the sake of ā€œnewnessā€. Or that the men aren’t a cast of pubescent-looking boys in gender-fliud childrenswear subserviently accompanying the women. Instead, women and men are equally complimentary to the label with equally strong looks. The lethally-sharp and sky-high stilettos, the bespoke shoulders, and the tailored-to-the-body proportions refined to their apex standards that will endure the test of time, is that standout touch that missing in every once great label. I understood if you’d feel that it’s ā€œoldā€. It’s timeless to me.

(...This long post/rant is not meant to sway you either LOOL)
 
I am maybe dellusional but I have high hopes set in this show.

I hope everybody realizes how powerful fashion can be when you forget about robotic displays of marchandise and try to dive in the dreams and desires of your audience.

And I hope everybody aknowledges the importance of this collection and they take notes for their own shows in the future.

Oh yes pure vision with no added fluff. It kinda reminded me of shows on the 90s, I miss that.
 
Cathy Horyn has an aversion to this slick sleek woman. Haider is different from Hedi but there is a similar fantasy. Makes sense why she prefers Phoebe Philo and stans Demna.
Most fashion critics do for some reason.
