Quotable: Tom Ford on the whole no-runway situation
Tom Ford opened up to Grazia recently about why he eschewed spectacle-like runway shows in favour of hush-hush star-studded reveals. Though we’re still hoping he’ll take to the runway again one day, his reasoning for steering clear of them proves a good enough point that we’ll just have to forgive him for the veiled presentations.
“When you do a runway show you have to amp things up in a way so that they read from a great distance — so that they are designed for photography rather than for a consumer … And what I wanted to do was create clothes for real people.”
We do have to ask though: how exactly are Beyoncé or Lauren Hutton “real” people?
