it IS true!


A while ago, rumors were floating round that Tom Ford was going to start designing womenswear again.

I desperately wished these rumors would come true. And it has. Yessss.

The designer confirmed to WWD that a womenswear line will happen "very soon." There is not a confirmed date as to when the collection will arrive, but it could be as early as 2010.

The team are currently looking for financial backing, but this could potentially cost $50 million. And worth every penny...even though that is quite a few pennies.

Apparently, to emulate the ideas he started for his menswear, he will have stores specifically for the women's clothing as well. They are sure to be as luxurious and outlandish as the men's, who can drink their choice of scotch and buy $9,000 boots. Wowza.

Today is an exciting day for fashion news! Minus all the job cuts. Boo.

again, please let it be true.

Today on Reuters, an article popped up that nearly made me pass out.

Tom Ford, the man/legend that made Gucci a big deal, currently only designs menswear and the occasional women's sunglasses or perfume for his own brand.

Well, times could be a changin. His luxury name, Tom Ford International, began searching for quite a large investment of $50 million or more in order to start a womenswear line. Now currently, this is all just speculation. But seriously, life would be unbelievable if he had his own namesake women's line.

His legend spawned from his innovative and unique designs for women, and perhaps a bright future is near for his brand and the women lucky enough to wear/afford his clothes.

And isn't he one of the most attractive men you've ever seen?

please let it be true.

When I woke up this morning, I went through the daily routine of laying around a few moments too long to check the updates on my favorite blogs.

Nearly every one wrote about this potential rumor, and it's safe to say we all desperately hope it is true.

Target, the wonder superstore that it is, has collaborated with many famous designers to bring their designs to the stores at an affordable price for everyone. Last season, it was Alexander McQueen. Right now, until October 17, Anna Sui's Gossip Girl inspired line is in the stores.

So what's next?

Jean Paul Gaultier. The master behind his own wacko brand and Hermès.

According to WWD, nothing is set in stone just yet. But I certainly hope it happens, along with the rest of us crazies looking for a good bargain.
