The Tom Ford Fall 2010 menswear collection is, in my humble opinion, the best line I have seen all year. The nerdy spectacles, the Napoleon Dynamite-like model and most of all, the uber-stylish fashions make this lookbook pop.
The Tom Ford Fall 2010 collection is made up of slim-fitting patterned jackets, ascots, suede ties, crisp dress shirts, denim and sweaters. As far as the looks go, I'm sold. Now I just need the cash.
Implications - With the proliferation of mind-numbing entertainment dominating North American airwaves, consumers are becoming resistant to such media because they feel it inaccurately represents citizens. As such, corporations which convey themselves and their products as nerdy or intelligent are fairing much better than corporations that cater to consumers in a condescending manner.
