The Tom Ford Fall 2013 collection made its formal entry onto the style scene at this year's London Fashion Week. The couture brand delivered remarkable pops of color and grandiose shapes along the catwalk, displaying the house's evident will to stand out from the rest come autumn.
The London Fashion Week Tom Ford models sported floor length gowns, opulent suit pieces and oversize jackets. While these cuts were somewhat traditional, the label shook up the lot with zig zag patterns and geometric shapes, all of which were reminiscent of illustrations that readers would find in a standard comic book. There was however nothing humorous about the pieces as they channeled sensual motifs, apparent in the translucent lace and deep v-necks.
