Tom Ford jumping on the H&M bandwagon??


Over the past few years we've had Lanvin, Matthew Williamson and Jimmy Choo.  Even Donatella Versace who famously stated she would never do a high street collaboration tomorrow launched that exact thing (although it's not a collaboration, it's a 'capsule collection' just so you know).

Tom Ford is know for a number of things, his phenomenal make up, his high profile break from fashion to forge a career in Hollywood - and his even higher profile return for the industry.  He now joins the like of Azzedine Alaia, whom refuse to release show pictures during fashion week, preferring to showcase his collections to a private, hand picked audience of fashion editors and insiders.  A decision made as he feels there is too much over exposure in the fashion industry (basically saying he is fed up of catwalk collections being copied by the high street before the designers even put them on sale themselves).

So imagine my surprise on learning that Tom Ford is tipped to be the next big name to collaborate with the Swedish brand.  Whilst nothing has been confirmed, I'm still keeping my fingers tightly crossed.
