Tom Ford’s FW22 Collection Highlights a Nostalgic Luxe for Menswear
Taking reimagined style cues from the ‘70s and ‘90s.
Forgoing his traditional New York Fashion Week runway show – due to the pandemic – Tom Ford injected a digital dose of fashion glamour into the middle of the Paris Fashion Week calendar. He presented a men’s and women’s collection for Fall/Winter 2022.
Ford’s menswear version generally leans towards the luxury side of ready-to-wear staple items, including sleek suiting, convertible collar business shirts, tailored pants and fine footwear. He continued down this design path for FW22, but took a few style cues from the ‘70s by showcasing a reimagined mix of embossed velvet blazers, creased satin pants, plush turtleneck sweaters, suede moto jackets and oversized blocked sunglasses.
Also hinting at the ‘90s, Ford presented a luxe urban mix of shearlings, velvet bomber jackets and joggers, oversized puffer coats and suede trainer sneakers. Large hobo bags, texturized envelope clutches and velvet pool slides additionally stood out as accessory highlights.
Rounding out the collection, Ford delivered power suits for evening in the form of crushed and patterned dinner jackets, plush velvet bowties, matching shirt-and-tie combos and silk cigarette pants.
