Things got progressively interesting as multiple leather-trimmed zippers and large patch-pockets appeared on coats and pants; ruffled sheer pink tops softened the masculine tailoring, while yeti-like furs and massive lamb coats upped the glamour ante.
The overall effect of the collection was one of assured sexiness: Short satin dresses with asymmetric necklines, basic tuxedo jackets and skimpy capelets all looked sophisticated and easy to wear. Ford also kept his accessories strong and simple: Coppery ankle-strap heels and flat boots were enough to make a powerful statement.
For evening, Ford showed a series of sheer lingerie
slips with binding brassiere overlays that most women
will find less than practical for real life; his
square-cut ribbon dresses, equipped with a side zipper
for easy escape, were far more arresting.
