Tom Ford's Chic Return.

Tom Ford's 70's inspiration's; along with the intimate setting of what was an ultra private showing complimented his welcome return to the runway - oozing glamour and relaxed chic. It was also cool that in an era of so little mystique, he was able to create it. Initially there were no photo's or video released from the show.

Haider Ackermann. Womens Ready To Wear Spring/Summer 2011

I always like mixing hard edged pieces with something more soft and elegant, classic and progressive. Perhaps this is because it's almost a metaphor for life in expecting the unexpected. Fashion and personal style can reflect so many things about a person. I know I'm going off the rails a bit with the analogy. But this may also be why I'm attracted to these pieces from designer Haider Ackermann shown in Paris for Fashion Week, unexpected juxtapositions. The red and black top  almost looks like a kimono silhouette totally reconstructed, I like it.
