A Love Affair Between Designers and Musicians

There has been a long lasting love affair between designers and musicians, fashion and music. Musicians become designer muses and W Magazine couldn't resist but to create an editorial 'Behind the Muses'. From the likes of Donatella Versace and M.I.A., Kanye West and Rodarte, Karl Lagerfeld and Janelle Monae and many more...

Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2011 Runway Presentation-Video and Photos!


FORDmania...
Tom Ford and his Muses in Tom Ford Spring 2011

The first snippet from that exclusive Tom Ford Womenswear Spring 2011 Runway Presentation which he showed last September has hit the web presses---and of course, it's Fabulous! If you remember, the show--attended by the UBER fashion elite--featured models from...

Singer/Actress Super-Diva Beyonce (above), actress Julianne Moore, heiress and Couture Buyer Daphne Guinness, the one-and-only Lauren Hutton, as well as Supermodels Amber Valletta...

and Liya Kebede (above), to name a few. I'm surprised Liza Minelli wasn't asked! Tom Ford was very adamant about having ONE official photographer (Terry Richardson) not having any photos leak out until HE wanted them leaked. And now is the time for leakin'...

Photos have been appearing of the collection--as well as the actual show--via fashion magazines such as Vogue and V. One of my faves is the editorial shot by photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, featuring model-of-the-moment Lara Stone from W Magazine (photo above).

Anyone Need A Cocktail? The Tom Ford "girls" ready for their luncheon date

In case you didn't know--or realize (I didn't!)--Tom Ford has TWENTY-ONE freestanding stores and stores-within-a-store spanning across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania (that's Australia-New Zealand-Papua New Guinea-Fiji-The Pacific Ocean Island Nations for you geographically-challenged). He's got stores in the "usual subjects" like NYC, Las Vegas, Dubai, Sao Paolo and Milan. But yet, he's even carried in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and even Uzbekistan---who knew? Those sketchy arms dealers need to look dapper too I guess!!!. Ford's first namesake ladies' items will go on sale in his Madison Avenue boutique March 1st. So better save your thousands now, darlings...
