Why does Tom Ford hardly get any attention on this board? He's the most charismatic motherfucker I've ever watched, and his clothes aren't only "#menswear" since most of /fa/ seems to dislike that in general.

saleability. he exists for a market of men who have a lot of disposable income but no personal vision, who would probably just shop at zara if they didn't feel compelled to spend a certain minimum amount on their clothing. another way you might put it is that his customer is a man who wants to buy "fashion" but is kind of a pussy about it.

can you differentiate between one season and another of tom ford? can you tell me what changes beyond the precise width of the lapel, the style of the pocket, and the fabric selection? there's no personality there, any more than there is personality on the racks of express; and in fact, they're using precisely the same design model, merely targeting different market segments.

>What, to you, would be the most relevant name in classic/relatively conservative menswear?

honestly? take it to saville row, because they can work within the dialect in a way that luxury design can never touch, because even the luxury price point does not support using $200/yard fabric and sewing to together with gold filament. what fashion can offer is really novel, conceptual, game-changing design season after season in a way that saville row could never touch. tom ford is a red herring at best, for people whose sartorial priorities are a little bit misplaced.

>can you differentiate between one season and another

"Classic" menswear, as the guy you answered to said, means very little place for innovation.

Tom Ford doesn't have the freedom to innovate the same way Rick, Raf, Jil, Dries or whatever do, because he's not creating a new aesthetic. He's merely taking classic menswear designs and putting in personal style, as someone else pointed out by saying his collections are similar to Gucci's.

>designer fashion without any design to speak of
I don't think fashion is just about the kind of innovation you're talking about.
Not necessarily everyone wants to make bespoke services their only suiting options, even if they can afford it. Bespoke might be the highest quality you can encounter but it lacks personality and the fact that it is tailored exactly to one's specifications makes it laughably tasteless sometimes, as there's no designer behind it to actually put some thought into the garment's personality or whatever you might call it.

If you buy a suit from Tom Ford, you're not necessarily doing it because you're clueless or because you lack style; the man doesn't have any "design to speak of", I agree on that point, but only if you compare him to people he shouldn't be compared to anyway. He's creating a special kind of aesthetic that you wouldn't be able to replicate using a bespoke service. Same thing for Thom Browne.
As for other classic garments, such as overcoats, jackets or knits, it's the exact same thing. If you just want quality and will opt for nothing else, just buy shit from Loro Piana or take the time to do it bespoke (although dressing exclusively bespoke, especially sweaters and shit, would be autistic).

TF offers a very high level of quality (albeit not on the same level as bespoke) to which he adds a personal view of menswear. It's not a "style" per se, and thus I understand why you'd think he's a hack, but it's not useless either.

Not the guy you answered to.
I disagree with twerk when he says stuff like Tom Ford is talentless/meant for rich people with no taste/whatever. I think there's more to the brand than that, as I said above.

I agree when he says that Ford might not have the same relevance as other designers I mentioned, because the latter put out innovative or avant garde designs whilst TF takes menswear and personalizes it in some way.

>>7563310
Innovation can mean several things.
TB is innovative with his boxy silhouette, cropped trousers, and other things (I'm honestly not very knowledgeable nor familiar with Thommy's stuff), so he basically revolutionized menswear with another take to it. Tom Ford doesn't do the same thing, as he doesn't reinvent menswear but as I said above personalizes it and adds to it some personal view that Savile Row (or any other bespoke suiting service for that matter) would not be able to create.

I'd agree if you said Ford wasn't AS innovative. He's not revolutionizing design by CREATING a new take to it (well he did revolutionize Gucci but not in a way /fa/ would appreciate), he's merely taking a preexisting style and making it different, adding to it or perhaps transforming it into something that fits his personal view of what menswear should be.

>>7563315
>doesn't make him much of a designer
I disagree. A designer doesn't have to be extremely avant garde or next level to be legitimate. Ford has a somewhat recognizable style when it comes to the market he's operating on (high end suiting and menswear).
He actually is very similar to Gucci, albeit not gaudy but definitely provocative. >>7563335 said it.

>>7563324
Now that's just misinformed.

>>7563345
>>7563356
I said it previously, innovation is subjective.
It has nothing to do with his vision being small, I think he's established a pretty recognizable style and overall atmosphere with his garments...

... But he's nowhere as groundbreaking as Boris, Carol Christian Poell, Rick, Sruli, etc when it comes to textures and especially, experimentation.

Tom Ford doesn't experiment, he doesn't try to create a new path for fashion or to change it. As he said in the interview OP posted, there will come a time when he'll be completely irrelevant, but right now, he's doing one thing only: taking menswear, and modifying it so it fits his vision of clothing and of what men/women's style should be like. That's pretty obvious too when you look at his sometimes obscene marketing campaigns, and he also talks about it in his interviews. He's not breaking the rules, he's playing by them. He knows exactly what society's standards are (exacerbated sexuality, flashiness...) and he makes his garments reflect that in a way he deems elegant. I'm not sure if I'm being understandable.

rick has made massive evolutionary leaps since the beginning of his career. i don't think you really appreciate what the man can do. even when doing block work rick can make fundamental structural changes to the garment that result in something totally new. tom ford is literally expanding and shrinking lapels season to season while touching nothing else. it's a highly effective cure for insomnia.

Oh you mean in the technical sense? Indeed, he's not a skilled tailor, but is it necessary? Judging by his success with Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, no. That's talking in terms of marketing, of course, he's definitely very skilled when it comes to that.
That's also why I said he wasn't groundbreaking like Rick or CCP with textures and materials. He can't be and doesn't need to, for menswear doesn't require (and is actually the opposite of) such kind of innovative work.

I could put it like this: Rick, CCP, Boris, Raf and others are the ones who make fashion a type of artistic expression. Tom Ford doesn't at all, his work enhances the individual instead of making the wearer a showcase for the clothing. He's basically the opposite of the former, which is why I think they can't be compared.

>his own? who cares? what value does his vision have?
Sorry, but I think you're just disregarding my whole point. Maybe I'm wrong but you seem to think the only "true" and legitimate designers are the likes of Rick Owens, which as I said are like the antithesis of TF.

His personal view doesn't bring in a completely new way of thinking fashion, it builds a different style while basing itself on a preexisting, classic take of men's clothing.

>>7563401
>as good as those dudes you mentioned
They can't be compared, as I said. And for reasons I already mentioned.

Anyway I hope I made some kind of point, I'm just saying that Tom Ford shouldn't be disregarded simply because he doesn't revolutionize fashion with avant-garde, outstandingly innovative textures and cuts.

Well he did revolutionize menswear from a marketing point but that's irrelevant to the discussion - I'm just saying that he's relevant as he brings a personal view of menswear into play that might be interesting to some individuals. That's all.

the undersleeve extends into the side body with an incorporated gusset panel, which allows the sleeve to cut incredibly slim without sacrificing the wearer's range of motion; it also helps to prevent the hem from lifting when the wearer lifts their arms.

>>7563485
>but is it necessary?

if not, then he needs to cultivate genuine talent and let them work. that's how rei operates, and that's why cdg is among the most important labels of this era in fashion, because it's pumping out genuine innovation and routinely changing the landscape of the fashion world. ford can't touch that, he can never touch that.

> Tom Ford doesn't at all, his work enhances the individual instead of making the wearer a showcase for the clothing.

i find this insulting tbh, as if one type of design somehow compromises the wearer's identity and somehow tom ford celebrates it. horseshit. tom ford shits on your identity, he demands that you become a fruity dude bro. there's no room in the ford universe for *you*. this is totally at odds with rick's wholly inclusive universe.

>Sorry, but I think you're just disregarding my whole point.

no, your point is that the value of ford is the vision that he brings to the table. i'm asking you what the intrinsic value of that vision is, and you're dodging.

>They can't be compared, as I said.

sure they can, this whole thread has been comparing them. rick and carol have extensive technical backgrounds that give them the vocabulary to be genuinely innovative, they can fundamentally change their clothing as much as they want to because they have the skill to do so. raf doesn't know how to do so himself, but he knows how to bring in people who do and he's usually pretty good at working with them to realize his vision. tom ford can't even rise to raf's level, and that's why i've called him a hack.

add to this the misogyny and the plain shitty character and it's incredibly easy to dismiss him. i am very comfortable with my choice in dismissing him.

Say what you want about Raf but you can't shoehorn his designs the same way you can with all the other (I hate to say it but i'm tired and can't be bothered to put this another way) "goth ninja" favourites. Not that they are all identical and not to take away of their merit but it's something worth thinking about. I'm not implying Raf is a more competent or experimental designer by any definition of the words but you have to admit he has had a consistent vision and artistic ideology that he's stuck with since day one and that is something you have to respect when it comes to a designer.

That's what he does. He lets them work and then alters the result for it to fit his taste.
Also there's something pretty important which I'm sure you'll call me out for but I think it's one of the things that makes Tom Ford hard to be compared to the other designers mentioned: the majority of what he makes is not meant to be visually revolutionary.
By that I mean that you won't usually find a lot of stuff in his collections that you couldn't wear easily; of course he puts out things like huge fur coats and shit sometimes, but the idea is that he's essentially making very wearable menswear, but differently. Wearing Tom Ford would be appropriate anywhere; and contrary to what most of /fa/ seems to believe, wearing Carol or Rick wouldn't be appropriate in a lot of situations.

By appropriate I mean socially, and that's important too. Tom Ford, with his clothes, doesn't disregard the social perception aspect, unlike Rick/Carol/etc which don't make that a priority at all. This makes TF much more appealing to tasteless rich people, for sure, but that's always going to happen when you make an easily wearable luxury product.

>i find this insulting
I didn't mean it as "the clothes make the wearer secondary", but it takes more skill to successfully wear a full CCP outfit without letting it "take over", than a full Tom Ford outfit.
I don't think Tom Ford shits on your identity, that's a matter of perception though. He does create some kind of uniform atmosphere which will be perceived through his clothes when you wear them, but in my opinion, that allows for more freedom of expression than when you wear Rick or CCP, because those, at least to the eyes of people who don't necessarily know this particular style, are much more unusual and less versatile.

>fruity dude bro
This entirely depends on your personality. And it's not necessarily the case either. But the wearer's mannerisms and personality play a big role. I personally couldn't wear anything Rick or CCP apart from basics, and even then I'd look pretty retarded. Tom Ford would suit me much better, objectively (that is, if you want to compare the two).

The value of Ford is the vision that he brings to the table, just like any other designer. That vision may be either extremely recognizable, rooted in a specific, new way of considering fashion (Thom Browne, Rick Owens, Sruli Recht) or much more understated.

>misogyny
What? In his marketing campaigns you mean?
>plain shitty character
I find him pretty smooth but whatever.

He's not as bland and middle market as you're making him out to be.

He has definite pattern of preferences. Large peak lapels. A lot of focus on emphasizing shoulders and chest.

To me, there's a real big 'macho-man' element in everything he does, which sets it apart from a lot of 'dandy' menswear.

I really like his eye-wear.

The biggest offender from my point of view is that he can't substantiate his positive or negative opinions of fashion works and yet he still tries to participate in a discussion. Ultimately I hope he realizes he's bringing nothing to the table.
It's a lame way to act, but hopefully he'll realize that by himself.

The point is that your opinion is not your own and is that of someone who has actually done the above and as such lets it hold some intellectual weight to it.
Not that you parroting such an opinion invalidates the thought processes that developed it but you're basically that kid in the playground who just agrees with whatever the cool kids say.
