LC:M HIGHLIGHT – TOM FORD AW14
By Jo Phillips
This presentation was a true highlight for the .Cent team as Tom himself was on hand to talk us through his live showcase of luxury menswear that featured casual separates, slick tailoring and some extravagant eveningwear. Navy was popular here with the suiting and this followed through into the knitwear and casual footwear whilst the most colourful pieces were reserved for the evening jackets. In outerwear we saw puffer jackets and coats where bigger was certainly better. Coyote fur made an appearance as the lining on some of the outerwear pieces – an unbelievably soft texture that really elevated this collection. You can see a couple of these examples below. It was a pleasure to be able to experience the collection intimately, to touch and feel every garment and get a real sense of the design and the work put in to the apparel. The hi-top sneakers featured below stood out for their hand-finished polish that when touched, literally gave the sensation of polished wood – incredible.
