Tom Ford Eyewear Fall/Winter 2010-2011......

I love the Fall/Winter 2010-11 ad campaign for Tom Ford Eyewear, shot by the designer himself and features actor Nicholas Hoult and model Freja Beha Erichsen. The use of crows is very dark and I like it... but I'm not really sure why Freja is nursing a crow?

BANG Marc Jacobs.....

BANG by Marc Jacobs, is his new fragrance for men. The steaming image was photographed by Juergen Teller.... but I believe Marc Jacobs is starting to think that he is Tom Ford.

Nicholas Hoult by Tom Ford.....

What doesn't Tom Ford do now... He designs, he directs and is even photographer. Check out these images he photographed of The British actor Nicholas Hoult for the new issue of OUT Magazine. The young actor is one of the stars at Tom Ford’s directorial debut “A Single Man”

Also on a completely different note doesn't Nicholas Hoult look like he should be Ed westwick's little brother? :)

Gucci's insatiable fashion.....

If Tom Ford was the one who brought Gucci back from the dead, then Frida Giannini is who gave it an insatiable fashion-forwards edge. The Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 advertising campaign for Gucci features the brand's stalwarts Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, and Freja Beha Erichsen alongside the likes of Abbey Lee Kershaw.

from a distance, through visual admiration...

Fashion holds a different meaning for everyone. For some fashion is being the first to sign up on Hermes mailing list to get notified of the latest Birkin bag, or a fashion student awaiting a reply from Matthew Williamson for an internship. TO most fashion is what’s attached to the body and the essence is therefore to wear fashion. But is wearing fashion a prerequisite for being fashionable or is the clothes just the tip of the iceberg with a stronger essence beneath the water surface.



Highly animated in interviews Tom Ford is one of the most invigorating personalities in the fashion world. The sheer intensity of the sexuality seen in the ads for his Tom Ford men’s line makes Pope Benedict XVI wish all humans were monogamists. Contrary to Ford’s extrovert, his choice of outfit is the expected and highly pedestrian navy blue suit and white shirt. Rarely is the New York based designer seen wearing anything more upstaging. Maybe there is calmness is a sedated appearance. Wearing the same outfit of neutral colours comes with the reward of people focusing on you rather than what you're wearing. For Karl Lagerfeld, his sterile sense of style has become fashion itself but he’s a one of a kind who doesn’t share clothing style with anyone. Regardless of the pure canvas-like image projected by these designer they breath fashion, they sleep fashion and think fashion. To individuals like Tom Ford the love lay in the art form and he’s a true testament that that one doesn’t have to wear fashion to be fashion. Some things in life are best enjoyed from a distance, through visual admiration.
