Welcome to the social design: loose lessons from the stylized representation of the social in cinema and print. A blog very often about the interior design, fashion, social manners, and music created for and reflected in vintage cinema and print. Especially from the Sixties and Seventies, especially Italian, and especially from swingin' party scenes. We're awfully big on disco hippies and the OpArt accent here. Guaranteed, of course, to wander off on the occasional tangent into (maybe?) related subject matter, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek commentary for your consideration along the way. Comments are welcome, so please consider yourself invited...

TOM FORD'S RETURN TO WOMENSWEAR (SPRING 2011)








 


#4: CELEBRITIES ALWAYS MAKE A PERSUASIVE LEGION TO DO ONE'S BIDDING.

Everything Tom Ford touches pretty much turns to sexual gold. And though this is neither cinema nor print, technically Ford is both a designer and a film director now. This montage, pieced together from his very hush-hush and apparently very triumphant return-to-womenswear showing in New York, defintely captivates.  What a collection of components: The opulently appointed, intimate space. The spectacularly chic, Seventies-inspired clothes. The secretive private invitations. And of course all the swell pals of varying degrees of legendary-ness doing the modeling. (Surely though there is always room for a couple more legends hobbling down the catwalk - Liz and Liza, no?)  All put together for a happening one part commerce, one part theater and one part party.
