Lookbook : Tom Ford S/S 2011
Tom Ford again. Anyone who’s at least as privy as me me is going to have so much fun wearing this collection. Let’s not bring this to an issue of money, and try to just see where this brand is going. Pastel colors, new cuts for suits, giving it a 1950′s vibe. Something different in other words. Not your average dandy look but always very elegant and in some ways easier to wear without making it look like you are dressing up for the Donatella Versace’s birthday. More of this after the jump. Enjoy.

The long awaited Tom Ford Women Spring/Summer collection is starting to leak or so it seems. The video featured after the jump gives you a glimpse of what is yet to come. A couple of months back when I wrote about “bringing luxury back into fashion” I had my doubts on the outcome.
