Tom ford fw22 takes a luxe trip back to the 70s
Tom ford injected a digital dose of fashion glamour into the middle of the paris fashion week calendar. He presented a men’s and women’s collection for fall/winter 2022.
Ford’s menswear version generally leans towards the luxury side of ready-to-wear staple items, including sleek suiting, convertible collar business shirts, tailored pants and fine footwear. He continued down this design path for fw22, but took a few style cues from the ‘70s by showcasing a reimagined mix of embossed velvet blazers, creased satin pants, plush turtleneck sweaters, suede moto jackets and oversized blocked sunglasses.
Also hinting at the ‘90s, ford presented a luxe urban mix of shearlings, velvet bomber jackets and joggers, oversized puffer coats and suede trainer sneakers. Large hobo bags, texturized envelope clutches and velvet pool slides additionally stood out as accessory highlights.
Rounding out the collection, ford delivered power suits for evening in the form of crushed and patterned dinner jackets, plush velvet bowties, matching shirt-and-tie combos and silk cigarette pants.
As the lvmh-owned house's artistic director, nigo is the shepherd ushering kenzo into a bold new era and, in true nigo fashion, he's gone back to go forward again
Takada splashed fields of flowers across his collections; nigo indulges in bold hues but also pares back his print by upsizing the scale of his scarlet bloom.
In a quiet salute to takada's color mastery, nigo enlivened some of these crisp poplin hawaiian shirts and cotton drill shorts with tumbling clouds of poppies. On other shirts, he affects a contemporary feel with a singular flower printed on the garments' rear, with a script logo branding the chest.
Nigo also strikes new ground with his own twist on some summer staples. For instance, a pair of dark denim shorts are classic nigo, restricting the poppy motif to a single yellow flower stitched to one of the back pockets.
