The Best of TOM FORD Summer 2024 Runway Fashion Show
"When Peter Hawkings was announced as the new creative director of Tom Ford following Ford's retirement, the fashion world was excited but not surprised — after all, Hawkings was the most obvious choice. He has only ever worked under Ford since the beginning of his career, first while Ford was at Gucci before following him when he started his eponymous label. Now, Hawkings finds himself under the spotlight, presenting his debut collection at the helm of the brand.
The first word that comes to mind when looking at the presentation is "sexy." Not necessarily in the overt way of little to no clothing and excessive amounts of skin showing (though there were plenty of sheer dresses in the lineup). It was the silhouette, the impeccable fit of each garment that revealed Hawkings' mastery of dressing the female form.
Also present was Hawkings' strong background in menswear, with traditional masculine codes such as suiting and strong-shouldered blazers standing alongside garments with feminine touches. While sleek and sexy, there was also a high level of glamour — a signature of the Tom Ford brand. Be it the '70s-esque velvet suits (which is a direct reference to Ford-era Gucci), the gold colorway, or the glossy materiality, the collection was a continuation of the legacy Ford already built.
In an interview with Vogue, Hawkings also revealed that one of his inspirations was Donyale Luna, the first Black supermodel who was best known during the '60s and '70s for her mystique and uncanny fluid body movements. In tune with the theme of '70s glamor and sex appeal, the designer captures the essence of Luna in the sultry cuts of the garments (though the black, long-sleeve, see-through dress was directly inspired by a crochet dress Luna wore in a 1967 photoshoot.)"
