VIDEO: Tom Ford's Womenswear Runway Presentation Featuring Beyonce, Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls, Liya Kibede and more

Tom Ford left no stone unturned in his quest to keep his fashion show under wraps. As I reported in September, he invited one photographer (the great Terri Richardson) and few journalists despite the megastars like Beyonce who walked in his show. His reasoning? He simply doesn't care for the "instant gratification" that comes from today's digital media platforms.






That didn't stop us, of course. Images of his first-ever womenswear collection hit the web and were soon followed by a shot of Beyonce wearing a sparkling gold dress and wild blonde curls. Now, video of the presentation has made its way online.

Turns out the seventies-inspired line of fitted dresses, playful prints and traces of menswear look even better in motion. Check out Beyonce, Liya Kebede, Julianne Moore, Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman and more storming the catwalk below.






What do you think of the show?

PIC: Beyonce Walks in Tom Ford Spring 2011 Show

Ugh. We told you during New York Spring 2011 Fashion Week that Queen Beyonce walked in the Tom Ford show but due to Mr. Ford's distaste for the internet and fashion media in general, editors weren't allowed to take or share pictures.

Well, finally, Glamazons, the moment has come where the picture they guarded like fossils at the Louvre has been released. The picture will appear in the January issue of Harper's Bazaar. And it may have been worth the wait.

A voluminous blonde curly afro, skin-tight metallic python-pattern dress and fishnet peeptoe knee boots? Fierce! Did she vanish at the end of the catwalk into a pool of sequined glitter? That's the only way this could get hotter.

What do you think of Bey's look? Glam or Sham?

First Look! Tom Ford's Women's Collection

Remember when Tom Ford hosted a super private showing of his first-ever Women's Collection with barely any editors, no celebrities in the front row and ONE photographer (Terri Richardson)? Well, he finally unveiled images of his collection in next month's Vogue shot by Steven Meisel and presumably to his dismay, those images have hit the internets.

Like Marc Jacobs and Tracy Reese's Spring 2011 collection, Ford presented a seventies-inspired line of fitted dresses in vibrant colors and playful prints like leopard and tye-dye with traces of menswear. For some reason, perhaps given the mere obscurity of all, I thought I'd be laying eyes on something more fascinating, like feathers and hair used as fabric for example.






Ford's desire for exclusivity and elusiveness I can understand (afterall, he's a fashion designer), but his aversion to the internet...to celebs? I mean, it's all a little perplexing. You don't want celebs in your front row, but Beyonce, one of the biggest pop stars of our generation, can walk in your show. If that's not vying for media attention, what is?

Here are Tom Ford's (who now goes by Mr. Ford) quotes on the internet, celebrity and fashion journalism via Vogue:



“I do not understand everyone’s need to see everything online the day after a show. I don’t think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business — not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that’s going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week? My customer doesn’t want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!"

Do you agree that seeing fashion the day after a show (or the day of on The Glamazons, haha) doesn't serve YOU as the customer? Does the fashion industry benefit from celebs wearing their garments?

I'd argue that it does, but immediacy does represent the democratization of fashion, and some people prefer the traditional hierarchy (designers -> editors/buyers -> (and six months later) the public). Even though I'm an editor, I'm not one of those people. Are you? Do you think the new and improved, digitally-enhanced "fashion system" undermines the retail business?

And finally, on to the most important question, which dress do you think Beyonce wore? LOL.

Do you like the collection?

Kisses,
