The Autumn collection from TOM FORD promises exacting precision alongside liberating abandon.

From the endless permutations of opposites, the women’s collection brings masculine-inspired tailoring with a signature sharpness displayed in pantsuits with flaring trousers and long coats with high collars. Elegant blazers and cropped blousons marry shorts as wide as miniskirts. The sense of seductive strictness is continued in military-style chasseur jackets which contrast with long, free-flowing dresses that barely touch the body, while draped jersey draws liquid, sculpted silhouettes.

Velvet swimsuits also make an appearance alongside figure-enhancing, ankle-skimming dresses and all-in-one catsuits. Never afraid to flaunt her fabulousness, the TOM FORD woman embraces gold and silver lurex for day as well as evening. High-heeled shoes and neatly designed clutches and bucket bags complete the image, together with wide, square sunglasses.

Her male counterpart is just as confident, favouring faultlessly tailored suits with peak lapels, military inspired peacoats and leather blousons with decisive hardware. Swinging from the softly formal to effortlessly sleek the collection pairs snug pullovers with knife-pleated tailored trousers, trucker jackets and pinstripes, suede and fresco wool. At night, the TOM FORD man is all for tailoring with a metallic lustre and a sprinkle of animal spots which also flourish in jacquard form on slinky shirts.

These looks come in a dense and stylish palette of blacks, creams, blues and browns with accents of silver and blush, with boots, slippers or trainers accompanied by neat cross-body bags, clutches and capacious totes. ✤
