Not only do we now get to catch a sneak peak at Tom Ford‘s Spring 2012 collection, which will probably hit stores mid January, but the images released were shot by the fashion genius himself.

Pencil skirts, peasant tops, raffia, lace, beading, fringe and leather seem to be the main focus of this ‘Mexico’ inspired collection.  He feels loose blouses with a slouchy feel teamed with pieces fitted at the waist are sexy-classic.  This topped off with a bondage style shoe, preferably wedges with chain detail are sure to be a huge trend.

Perhaps the most interesting area of his latest collection is how he will be presenting it.  Tom Ford does everything with a twist, his models will not strut down the catwalk like your average fashion show but will in fact be individually part of ten mini presentations by Tom himself, with each model standing beside him as he discusses in detail all of his intricate creations.

Tom maintains that the key to his brand success is ‘classic clothes’.  He hates when clothes do not have longevity and feels his pieces may be repeatedly worn from season to season.  Tom understands a woman’s form and he thinks hard about how women will feel in his creations.  For example, his collection involves a trouser suit, with a cobalt-violet jacket and form fitting trousers that act like spanx and mold to the body achieving a sexy silhouette.

We also have some exciting news from H&M creative advisor, Margereta Van Den Bosch who hints that a collaboration may be on the cards.  After the success of the collaboration with Versace, it seems that H&M is certainly one to watch for the high street in 2012!

What do you think of the new line?
