UTom Ford ngumzekelo omhle wentshukumo yefashoni/yendlela yokusabela. Emva kwengqokelela yaseNtwasahlobo egcwele umbala oqatha, onika imincili, uye wamnyama ngenxa yokuwa. Kwaye, emva kwamaxesha onyaka wokuthunga i-hyperattenuated, wabonisa iisuti ezimbini kuphela ngeli xesha, ebeka ugxininiso oluqinileyo kwimpahla yezemidlalo, "ukubamba elinye icala lobomi bomthengi wam," njengoko wayibekayo ngexesha lokubonisa namhlanje. Kwaye iimpahla zezemidlalo eziqinileyo! Iidyasi zombane ezijikelezayo zijikeleze umbhobho we-silhouette; ipaki enemigca ye-coyote esongelwe ijezi efana ne-bouclé (umsonto osontelwe ngesandla ePeru, onitwe ngesandla e-Itali); Ukucheba okungwevu phezu kwehoodie yekheshmere engwevu…ufumana umfanekiso. Kwaye akukho mabhaso okuqikelela ukuba kutheni eli “linye icala” bekufanele ukuba ngequbuliso libe libalulekile. UFord ngokwakhe ngoku ufuna iimpahla ezinjalo (izihlangu ezimdaka, ngenxa kaPete) xa ehamba nomntwana wakhe, uJack, eHyde Park.
Izinto zaba ngcono nangakumbi xa uFord ecofa i-volume, njengakwiblazer ye-taupe ezaliswe phantsi kunye ne-mac ene-bone-toned (i-aestheticized, wathi, kunye nenkqubo esusa uphawu lwe-rubbery ivumba). Kodwa olona kongeza luxelayo kwirepertoire entsha yeFord yokuwa kwesiqhelo isenokuba ibingabaqeqeshi. Wazibiza ngokuba “zizihlangu ze-tennis.” Uthe ebesoloko ebachasa ngonaphakade, okanye ubuncinci “de ndifumanise ukuba ndingabenza bahluke njani.” Imfihlelo? Ziveliswa kusetyenziswa indlela yokupolisha ngesandla esetyenziswa kwizihlangu zokunxiba zeFord: iintsuku ezintathu ngesibini ngasinye, ukuvelisa isiphumo esikhazimlayo esisemagqabini.
Ingqwalasela enje ngokugqithisileyo kwiinkcukacha ibisoloko ilikhadi lokufowuna leFord. Xa into leyo ifuna ingqalelo, umphumo unokuba mhle. Kwaye kwakunjalo ngeengubo zangokuhlwa zikaFall. Nabani na ofuna ukulungiswa kombala wakhe unokuyifumana kwiibhatyi zesilika ezikhazimlayo zejacquard, kwiikathi ezingaqhelekanga, okanye kwimizobo echumileyo kangangokuba iphantse ukuba yinqweneleka. Kwaye kwakusekho umbala kwenye indawo kwingqokelela: i-zing of chartreuse yatyibilika kwimfumba yee sweatshi ze-cashmere, ukhetho olumnandi lweethoni zeziqholo phakathi kwamalahle asezidolophini.
