Yes, I know this is months late but I wanted to reiterate how 'the fashion system' should be. Availability and accessibility is what I hate about the industry; has become too much - I appreciate his reasoning and beliefs behind what he does.
Tom Ford launched his first women's wear collection in six years; this season, in New York. No cameras, note pads were allowed and only specific people were invited. The collection wasn't blogged, face booked, talked about in press - Nothing was leaked or seen by the outside circle of fashion until it was sold in store.
“I do not understand everyone’s need to see everything online the day after a show,” he says. “I don’t think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business—not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that’s going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week? My customer doesn’t want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!”
