An art, a matter of self-confidence, a game where the rules are never defined but that can take unexpected turns based on the participants: sensuality is precisely this, in its unpredictability as much as its magic. And who better than Tom Ford to outline the contours of seduction? Whether through the look or makeup, all elements of the latest FW24 collection are glamorous, bold, and magnetic. Daring is possible, and it’s entirely in our hands.

Beauty
Even the makeup of the show is a player in this new seduction: curated by Dick Page for Tom Ford Beauty, it puts the focus on the eyes with an intense smokey eye, natural yet luminous base, and nude lips. “It all stems from an idea of Peter; we met in the atelier and had ideas for some looks, then we met again here last night and played with other things,” Dick Page told us backstage. “We decided that the impact comes from the execution: some girls have this wet flat eye, due to black liquid eyeliner used all over the eyelid and then made glossy; it’s a deliberately messy effect, with black pencil also applied outside the eye. There are actually two versions of smokey eye: one is brown-based, with two different shades of brown and gray pencil, but always with undefined and soft edges, while the other is a combination of black and gray shades.”
“It’s all very glam but also overwhelming”.
The whole experience is complemented by the intense fragrance of the Eau de Parfum Vanilla Sex.

Moodboard
Peter Hawkings, creative director of Tom Ford, knows the brand’s past and proves once again to be a worthy stylistic heir to the brand’s founder. On the runway, looks (for both him and her) arouse curiosity, tease the idea of provocation, and make us aware of the enchanting power of quiet luxury. Velvet and non-velvet suits, rigid and military coats, mini dresses, play of light and see-through are the emblem of conscious craftsmanship and a modernity that fears nothing and no one.

Our favorite looks
Dress shapes and models that highlight physicality, shorts paired with blazers or double-breasted jackets with golden buttons, outwear proposals in leather, faux fur, or sequin-covered, including naked dresses and striped and velvet suits. The mini meets the maxi, with a color palette ranging from black to beige, purple to silver gray, and gold.
It’s the body that speaks here and is completely free.

Details
If details are given by the volumes and cuts of the looks, chain jewelry and jewel-buckled belts illuminate the final result. Precious clutches, sunglasses, and patent and woven shoes are inevitable. Netted full-body suits, materials like jersey, silk, and juxtaposed wool, plunging necklines and deep slits, suits with vests, and evening dresses mark the culmination of a vibe that, while bringing us back to the brand’s ’90s, is aware of its strength. And, for this reason, always intriguing.
