'Chic, possibly slightly stoned...it conveys the mood for the season and a mood that for me is very L.A.,' is how TomFord summed up his fall show.
Tom Ford gave the Oscars a run for its red-carpet Friday night in L.A. when he presented his fall 2020 collection with a star-packed house that had Jennifer Lopez cuddling Alex Rodriguez, Anna Wintour chuckling with Jeff Bezos, Jon Hamm talking up Ron Howard, and Miley Cyrus and Lil Nas X posing for selfies.
“As a fashion designer, one is only able to convey to the world one’s true and deepest ideals of beauty once. Only once, if you are lucky, the world responds,” he continued. Such was the case for Ford at Gucci, and that’s where he unapologetically returned for fall, with Forties meets Seventies meets Nineties silhouettes.
Oversized shearling patchwork or leopard patterned coats had fashion with a capital “F” attitude, as did a vivid violet velvet suit with wide-lapel hourglass blazer over hip-hugging skirt. Meanwhile, the look of a fuchsia turtleneck over a chic-as-hell, ombré pink sequined ball skirt hearkened back to Sharon Stone’s famous high-low turn at the 1996 Oscars, pure American style.
The collection was his best in recent memory, extravagant but accessible, casual but you could see the work, and sensual without being vulgar. At a time when everyone seems to want to hate on American fashion, it was a reminder of what American fashion does best — clothes that make you dream, and that you can also actually wear.
