Being among the few editors lucky enough to attend the world debut of Tom Ford’s womenswear collection, I was as eagerly awaiting my first look at his garments as I was his accessories, naturally. The clothes were unabashedly posh and full of glamour–the same could be said about the accessories. Unfortunately, no photos are available at the moment due to Tom’s strict policy of not releasing images too early, but I did get a look at the goods at the show and they’re quite impressive. As Tom narrated each look on each A-list celebrity model–Beyoncé, Lauren Hutton, Julianne Moore, Emmanuelle Seigner, Lou Doillon and Rita Wilson, but to name a few–quite a few sported a dazzling hand accessory to boot. There was the zip bag, a small but practical small leathergoods piece; minaudiere came in 18-karat gold or glass; a croc bag with woven leather shoulder strap; a black croc zipped pochette and a pochette trimmed in velvet. It appears the bags are geared more toward evening and tended toward the smaller side. It was refreshing to see no large, bulky totes or dreaded dog carriers. Images of the collection will be released in January so stay tuned Bag Snobs!
