Simply Abu Dhabi XXXI

TOM FORd 7 0s vibes are key in Tom Ford’s Fall Winter 2018-19 collection. Impeccable tailoring combines with street and metropolitan style. The brand that is now 10 years old,x this season presented a full wardrobe for its men: from daywear to sportswear and streetwear right down to underwear—a total and luxurious look. Grey, black, white, pink, yellow, brown and beige are the colours of this season while bold colours and animal prints mix with impeccable tailored suits or leisure wear. The silhouette is bold yet young and fresh and accentuates man’s masculinity. It is not a macho collection, more a Millennial collection. In fact, almost every brand, especially the high- end ones, strive to attract the Millennials who can afford their exclusive pieces and do not respect the “strict” fashion rules but want to play with them, mixing audacious colours with well-crafted suits, jackets or shirts. At the same time, Ford still presents pieces, especially suits, for the elite of the “old guard”, those handsome men who still favour tailored suits 24/7. The collection itself combines the classic style of the UK which has seen the rise of the Tom Ford brand and him as a designer with the eccentricity of Los Angeles (Tom Ford and his brand’s current location), ready to evolve into the future. Skinny pants, heeled boots, glam jackets, suits in satin, brocade or lamé all feature in the collection. A major entry in Ford’s world is a new line of watches and the launch of his underwear which seems to fit the body like a second skin.
