TOM FORD, enough said

As some of you already know, I believe there are 3

top fashion designers who are blazing a new trail with their work,

and they are all American...

Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen of The Row

Marc Jacobs

&

TOM FORD

 

spend 1 minute of your time to see the video just released today showing 

the Tom Ford

Fall/Winter 2012 collection

HERE

certainly it is opulent & glamourous, but the key to understanding his influence

is to strip it down and look for the major element working throughout,

this will be re-interpreted all the way through the fashion food-chain.

btw, have any of you seen FASHION STAR, the Jessica Simpson & Nicole Richey

show?  I am surprised by how good it is, and love the fact that these up-&-coming

new designers have a shot at success with Sak's 5th Avenue, Macy's & H&M.

also, I had a chance to view My Week With Marilyn, the Weinstein film

a couple of days ago.  the overwhelming feeling of melancholy, the need for

approval, the insecurities and the incredible beauty of Marilyn are portrayed

with such insightfulness and tenderness.   definitely a chick-flick, but a not-to-be-missed

chick-flick. 

now, got to get dressed, daughter & I are going antique/flea-market shopping

this afternoon !!
