Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2024 Collection Debuts at Milan Fashion Week
At Milan Fashion Week on September 21, 2023, Peter Hawkings presented his debut Spring/Summer 2024 collection for Tom Ford. Hawkings, a protégé and successor of the eponymous American designer, blended 1990s signatures—slim-fit suits, unbuttoned silk blouses, choker necklaces, and very short shorts—with 1970s materials and silhouettes. The 57-look collection featured velvet tuxedos, ubiquitous leather, stiletto heels, sheer dresses, gold-buckled belts, feathered skirts, and square day-to-evening bags. Hawkings aimed to revive a lost world of sensuality and simplicity, evoking the era when Kate Moss walked for Tom Ford. The show underscored a return to hierarchical fashion in Milan, targeting a clientele that chooses clothes to assert presence and command. The collection eschewed social battles for a predictable yet appreciated fusion of the 1970s and 1990s, prioritizing day and evening wear over deeper meaning.
