Tom Ford: Camera-Ready Glamour at Milan Fashion Week
Peter Hawkings's second collection is loyal to the brand's glamour.
Peter Hawkings’ second collection for Tom Ford stays true to the swanky metropolitan look the brand is known for. Numerous double-breasted jackets, coats, sets, and dresses graced the runway, either detailed with gold buttons or paired with illuminating yet understated jewellery. In keeping with the fashion house’s desire for an elegant yet edgy aesthetic, patent, and crocodile leather dominated the collection as well.
Would it be a Tom Ford collection without a velvet suit, classic to the brand and its creator, Tom Ford himself? A grey velvet three-piece women’s suit was presented as this collection's iteration of a head-to-toe velvet look. There’s an intrigue to three-piece suits for women. It’s elevated, powerful, and forges a way to loosen up the binaries that exist in fashion and style.
The simple yet modish raincoat, belted and styled with a shoulder bag, and the array of royal purple pieces were also worthy of attention. Hawkings stuck to neutrals this season, yet the pop of colour appearing in purple seamlessly weaved into the collection's character. The sparkling mesh dresses and bodysuits embodied bold sexiness and added an extra layer of allure to the collection. This Autumn/Winter 2024 season for Tom Ford, with its camera-ready, glamorous designs, epitomizes attractive and captivating fashion.
