Tom Ford, how do I love thee…

let me count the ways…
Tom Ford, I love you because:
- After a 6-year absence from woman’s fashion, during which time you were sorely missed, you will be back Spring/Summer 2011!
- You stole the spotlight at NYFW with the “secret” and highly exclusive presentation of your new line.
- Your new line was modeled by women who are an inspiration to YOU.
- According to reports, your models were styled perfectly, the runway show was a couture-style show (elegant and glamorous), and you narrated the show yourself.
- Your new collection sounds remarkable. According to Cathy Horyn: “[The new collection is] the height of glamour — sharp pantsuits in black silk or a leopard pattern, gorgeous black evening clothes with sheer blouses, corsets and maybe a shrug in shredded tulle, impeccable details like hammered gold jewelry, stilettos with ankle ties and seamed black stockings.” All words I love.
- Most of all, I love you because you used models of all shapes, sizes, ages, and colors in your “secret” launch. YAY!
Now, Tom Ford, why do I hate you?
- You only let one photographer – Terry Richardson, use a camera to document the evening.
- We have to wait until January to see the collection.
- Did I mention you only let one measly camera into the show? *pout*
- You are such a tease.
OK, so now what? Let the thumb-twiddling commence. I can’t believe I am now looking forward to January!
In the meantime, we can at least take a brief look at some of the models who were reportedly in the show. It’s a teaser, but at least we can imagine how beautiful they each must have been walking Tom Ford’s runway! (Note: the images below are NOT from the show, just random shots I like of the models!)

According to Joe Zee, the creative director of Elle Magazine, the show was “a visual smorgasboard of refined chic and sexiness.” With these gorgeous women, and Tom Ford’s designs – I bet it was!
I can’t wait to see the images!
