Tom Ford Autumn/Winter 2024
Watch the latest episode of BoFâs Backstage Pass where Tim Blanks meets Peter Hawkings to learn about his sophomore collection for Tom Ford.Resist or embrace? Iconoclast or understudy? Peter Hawkings clearly loves being in control at Tom Ford after 25 years working as Fordâs right hand. âIâm creating my woman, my man,â he said emphatically before his show in Milan
Hawkings insisted there was no archive-diving. Itâs all forward with Ford. If the shadow cast by his old boss was as long as the spotlight-dappled catwalk in the outré revelation of clinging mesh or near-nude net confections, Hawkingsâ experience as Fordâs menswear designer suggested he was probably more at ease with the gold-buttoned navy looks or the pin-sharp tailoring of three-piece suits, worn shirtless by all genders. When he showed see-through flasherâs macs in latex, they were primly buttoned to the throat.
But Hawkings insisted the inspirational creature he had in mind for his collection â his powerhouse wife Whitney aside â was actually the Pola Woman, the strong-shouldered dominatrix archetype who ruled photographer Helmut Newtonâs fetishistic universe. âPowerful, glamorous, free to be as dressed or undressed as she chooses,â was how he described her. Hawkings imagined his tailoring as a kind of armour, elevating her, keeping her standing tall.

Marni Autumn/Winter 2024
For Francesco Rissoâs first Marni show back in Milan after traveling shows in New York, Tokyo and Paris he created a venue like a blank slate, covered with white paper. Everything in the collection was made by hand, painted, crafted, pieced together. A Marni show feels like being transported into a different universe, and so different from the manufactured and polished tents of the mega brands.
