Big hats and simple elegance for Tom Ford at NY Fashion Week

Feb 6, 2019 | 10:59 PM

NEW YORK — Tom Ford says these tumultuous times pointed him in the opposite direction at New York Fashion Week with a collection of gentle, non-aggressive elegance done in simple silhouettes.

There was a distinctive ’70s vibe in fake-fur fedoras with wide brims and fluffy oversized coats.

For evening, he did long silk jersey body-skimming dresses adorned with chains of pale pink and lilac that framed shoulders and backs. The links were the only adornment.

Make no mistake: The classic Ford attention to detail was on display and so was a certain swagger. Some of the autumn-winter looks were lined and faced in silk with hand-done detailing for his usual touch of luxury.
