Sharon Stone and Peter Hawkings, the creative director of Tom Ford, were talking after his show in Milan on Thursday night. Not about anything as quotidian as the torrential rain outside, which was consolidating into sizeable puddles at the entrance to the venue, but “about the power of a woman … that’s exactly what I want to evoke with the Tom Ford man/woman – the power of the glamour”.
The glamour was certainly potent. Not least via the guests who gathered for the show – from Stone to Alek Wek, Uma Thurman, Eva Green and Amber Valletta, whose flawless posture not once faltered as she watched from the front row.
