Tom Ford behind closed doors

It will be a while yet before we see images of Tom Ford's Spring Summer 2012 collection.

As we have become accustomed to, the no photographs embargo at his shows means Mr Ford's press office will release the images in time for the press season, and not a day earlier.

So what was on show? Think sex appeal and silhouette, as deftly described by the Herald Tribune: tigress hair, smoky eyes, glossy lips, taut skirts and strappy high heels filled the runway. The collection wasn't just about high octane evening attire, but came with great day clothes, including loosely laced Moroccan blouses, fringed skirts and some simple but gorgeous dresses with ruching or a belt at the waist and a bubbled hem. A number of outfits also had corsets blended into the tone of the blouse. Equally strong were his evening option of slinky black pants—more like a ski pant—with a simple chiffon T-shirt coated with feathers at the front.
