UTom Ford iyisibonelo esihle sesenzo/indlela yokusabela yemfashini. Ngemva kweqoqo laseNtwasahlobo eligcwele umbala ogqamile, ovusa amadlingozi, waba mnyama ku-Fall. Futhi, ngemva kwezinkathi zonyaka zokuthunga okune-hyperattenuated, ubonise amasudi amabili kuphela kulokhu, egcizelela ngokuqinile izingubo zezemidlalo, "ukuthwebula olunye uhlangothi lwempilo yekhasimende lami," njengoba akubeka ngokuhlakanipha phakathi nesethulo sanamuhla. Futhi izingubo ezinjalo zezemidlalo eziqinile! Amajazi angaphezulu agqagqene azungeza i-silhouette yesitofu; ipaki enomugqa we-coyote esonge ijezi elifana ne-bouclé (intambo ephothiwe ngesandla ePeru, eyalukwe ngesandla e-Italy); ukugunda okumpunga phezu kwehoodie empunga ye-cashmere…uthola isithombe. Futhi akukho miklomelo yokuqagela ukuthi kungani lolu “olunye uhlangothi” bekufanele lube lubalulekile kungazelelwe. UFord ngokwakhe manje udinga izingubo ezinjalo (izicathulo ezinsundu, ngenxa kaPete) lapho ehamba nojahidada wakhe, uJack, eHyde Park.
Izinto zaba ngcono nakakhulu lapho abakwaFord bedayela phansi ivolumu, njengakwi-taupe blazer egcwele phansi kanye ne-mac enethoni yethambo (ethi, eyenziwe ngobuhle, enenqubo esusa iphunga lerabha). Kodwa okungeziwe okubaluleke kakhulu ku-Fall repertoire esanda kungena evamile kungenzeka kube ngabaqeqeshi. Wazibiza ngokuthi “izicathulo zethenisi.” Uthe ubelokhu emelana nabo kuze kube phakade, noma okungenani “ngize ngithole ukuthi ngingabenza kanjani bahluke.” Imfihlo? Akhiqizwa kusetshenziswa indlela yokupholisha ngesandla esetshenziswa ezicathulweni zokugqoka zakwaFord: izinsuku ezintathu ngepheya ngayinye, ukuze kukhiqizwe umphumela ocwebezelayo osesikhungweni.
Ukunakwa okunjalo kwemininingwane bekulokhu kuyikhadi lokushaya le-Ford. Lapho into idinga ukunakwa, umphumela ungaba omangalisayo. Kwaba njalo nangezingubo zakusihlwa zikaFall. Noma ubani odinga ukulungiswa kombala wakhe angayithola emajakhethini e-jacquard kasilika acwebezelayo, kuma-ikats angavamile, noma emigqeni ecwebezelayo ecishe ibe yintandokazi. Futhi wawusekhona umbala kwenye indawo eqoqweni: i-zing of chartreuse ishelele enqwabeni yamajezi e-cashmere, ukukhethwa okumnandi kwamathoni wezinongo phakathi kwamalahle asemadolobheni.
