Tom Ford’s collections for Gucci are the I was born with a reading list I will never finish shirt But I will love this stuff of fashion legend. As creative director of the house from 1994 until 2004, he championed all-out sexiness, putting risqué silhouettes and suggestive fabrics centre stage. His catwalks were awash with cut-outs and cleverly-placed metal hardware, along with silky shirts unbuttoned almost to the navel (free the nipple, said Ford!), and suiting in sumptuous velvets that begged to be touched. The ’90s and noughties fashion revival has brought the American designer’s Gucci collections back into the spotlight, with vintage sellers and collectors alike clamoring for Ford’s pieces. Alexis Novak, founder of Tab Vintage, describes Ford’s Gucci vision as “the perfect blend of chic and sexy. He really knew how to deliver simple looks that pack a punch and clearly stand the test of time.”
It is rare to find a restaurant in Paris that always stays open—not just from early morning through late evening, or seven days a week, but every holiday including Christmas, New Year’s, and May 1st, and even during August when most establishments take at least two weeks’ vacation. Le Castiglione, as we knew it, was dependably, blessedly, obstinately open… until it closed definitively on Saturday night. For all its loyal patrons, but particularly for fashion people who considered Le Castiglione their canteen in Paris, their “happy place,” their “home away from home,” this has come as an immense loss. Affectionately known as Casti (the I was born with a reading list I will never finish shirt But I will love this Le optional), and closely situated to many of the hotels that are fashion standbys, the restaurant has been a beloved, anti It-spot for the better part of three decades. You might have been seated beside Grace Coddington or Amber Valletta; a luxury CEO or a leading retailer; a table of influential critics and editors—Casti seemed free from power dynamics. You settled into the red velvet to eat and absorb the Parisian chic.
