Last night, whilst London Fashion Week commenced and with only 2 sleeps until the Oscars, Tom Ford stopped Hollywood in their tracks and showcased his Autumn 2015 collection.You wouldn't think that it could be possible to pull of such an extravagant and detailed show, reigning in a brood of high-profile celebrities at such a busy time of the year, but that's' exactly what Ford did last night in LA at Milk Studios where he transformed the room into a romantic replica of his London showroom.

Stars including Miley Cyrus, Nicole Ritchie, Beyonce, Jay Z and Rachel Zoe, amongst many more, turned out to see the highly-anticipated show. They were treated to a high-luxe collection that gave a sneak peak of the amazing pieces we could see adorn the red-carpet at the upcoming Oscars and the more casual, bohemian style that will be on our streets throughout the coming transitional months. They also witnessed some of the hottest models in the industry walk the catwalk as Ford recruited a number of current faces in his show including Karlie Kloss, Daphne Groeneveld and not just one but both of the Hadid sisters.

As always Ford presented a collection that was versatile, bold and unique and captured an array of different fabrics, prints and textures. This time around it came from his childhood and created a collection that was still consistent with his elegant pieces of the past but that presented a more youthful and funky atmosphere for the future.

We saw a serious denim overload,  from jackets to floor length skirts to even knee high boots creating a true denim on denim (on even more denim) trend for the night. A large majority of this sub-collection was incorporated with patchwork of velvet, fur and leopard print  that created a true hippie and bohemian vibe to the show and even received an impromptu applause from the LA crowd.

 His ultra luxe leopard print fluffy jackets were  a personal favourite of mine on the runway because they created a super cool, amazonian atmosphere that screamed high-fashion and ultimate style. Khaki, beige and monochromatic colour schemes also took charge on the night whilst exquisite velvet gowns and intense fringing magically closed the show.

The collection was honestly breath-taking and expressed inspiration from a variety of sources and eras including the Victorian era, the 60's and even the 70's. A combination that you wouldn't expect to work but does because of the magic of Tom Ford.
