Just watched the very best interview of TOM
FORD. I love him, and it is refreshing to hear the simplicity of his work. The
Interview which aired on OWN, follows Tom through a few week period leading up
to a small viewing. In the interview he talks a lot about the art of being
fashion forward in his designs. He said the best way to follow and predict
trends is to be aware of your surroundings and to live, daily observation is
key in fashion. While it is great to be a trend setter, the reality is most
brilliant ideas come from observations we see in passing. Maybe you saw a
beautiful fun woman walk by and she was wearing something so cute, maybe you
take that look and reinvent it to fit you. Maybe you duplicate fab looks in a
magazine you read. Whatever the case, women are observers. What Tom brings into
designing is the same out look we should take into our daily wardrobes. I say
"think like a designer"...
Use the world around you to pair and put
together looks within your own wardrobe that you love, and know look great on
you.
The best place to start when thinking about
what to buy for the season ahead, is to get out into the world and see where
the fashion is headed... read up magazines to check for looks you love, up to
date magazines insure looks are trendy and in for the season at hand. Rip out
clips of fashion you like and things you may want to duplicate, take the
magazine clippings with you on your trip to the mall. These clippings are quick
references while you shop, and help to give your trip to the mall a little
focus. Happy shopping
Thanks Tom Ford xoxo....
Be sure to check out his video it is wonderful if you have about 45
