Tom Ford S/S 2026 Paris

[Cocteau Stone]

^ that silk skirt is one of the things I really like from the trunk show. As you said, reminiscent of Fords YSL collections.

Everything else is a bit disjointed. The colours of the jersey against the colours of the leather is unpleasant to sift through. They’re speaking to very different clientele and also represent very different collections. The perforated leather is gorgeous, but the lack of lining (not even a sheer stretch tricot or lingerie style lining, or even a stretch/bias satin lining) seems a touch foolish. Its treatment works in relation to the use of lace. Creates an interesting parallel with the ideas of hardness and softness in tactility. How it correlates to the jersey crepe I have no clue. I usually love a good sheath and column but here it’s all so fractured. Loathe that sheer skirt column/choker thing. Ann D did it better, here it’s LDSS for Ann D at best.

Too much of anything is bad. He has always been a very serious designer, but now that he designs for Ford some humor wouldn't hurt. His work tends to feel contrived. Even when he tries to add a bit of bad taste the result is often try hard. He is amazing at tailoring, but very limited when it comes to dresses and skirts.

I do miss that virgo humor of tom . But i like the directions that they're going in. But for the life of me, I do not understand the cost. It's so expensive.
