Finally we have an exciting preview of what Tom Ford has designed for his upcoming eponymous S/S 2011 womenswear collection. The master’s comeback to ladies dressing after six years is fashion meganews and he kept it pretty secretly which has made the hype even bigger.
The December issue of US-Vogue, with Angelina Jolie on the cover, shows some amazing photos of the new must-haves.

Glamour is, after all, what Mr. Ford is for in fashion. But his vision has changed a little, he is not designing for the trendy Gucci girl he left behind, he is more into reaching the Chanel and Armani league.
„It is about individuality. The Seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love,“ says Ford. And we love you Mr. Ford! Cannot wait to become a Mrs. Ford… Thank God we have a Tom Ford boutique in Zurich!

Yesterday evening at the premiere of “Salt” at Graumans Chinese Theatre in L.A., Angelina Jolie looked every bit Hollywood`s reigning queen. The spy thriller is due on 23rd of July in the US and one month later in the UK.

At her big night, the leading lady kept her look cool with a sexy black sequin tube dress by Emporio Armani, nude peep toes by Salvatore Ferragamo and just one piece of jewelry from her own collection that she had designed for luxury jewelers Asprey last year. The snake bracelet has been part of the very limited serpentine-inspired Protector Collection, with only 10 items of each design available and all proceeds going to the power couple`s charity.
But her best accessory might have been King Brad who appeared fur-free, meaning without his beard, looking a little like a young Robert Redford in his aviator sunglasses and Tom Ford suit. As I am a bag-addict, I immediately saw that the beautiful brunette showed up without one. So I was wondering what Brad might have been carrying in his pockets…
Angelina wore her favourite colour dress as in LBD (Little Black Dress). In fashionista circles, this is a must-have and the general consensus is a thumbs up! The sequins gave her classic look a sexy twist and the nude pumps worked perfectly with it.
In case you do not own a dress like that, please consider one. At the moment, there are a lot of beautiful ones available of which many are on sale. Here is my pre-selection:
If you prefer doing-it-yourself, I recommend a visit to the notions department. Sequin fabrics are not too expensive and used preferably for costumes. Just sew the material together and voilà there is your tube dress!
A sparkling LBD is a lifetime investment! Do it the Angelina way…

Rumors were out since a long time but now it is definitely no secret that Tom Ford is making a foray into womenswear. He will be designing his own line for ladies that is likely to launch over the next year.
