Fall 1998 shows a more practical side of Tom Ford’s Gucci. The collection is built on utility and outerwear, with the glamour saved for the evening.
By day there were multi-pocket belted jackets in black, long safari-style cargo skirts and a black stretch-wool trench finished with metal rings. Shearling was a big part of it, in biker jackets and long brown coats. A long black skirt with buckles appeared in several looks and became the piece of the season. The basics were quietly luxurious: grey satin trousers, cashmere tanks and open-knit cardigans.
At night the mood changed completely. Floor-length gowns with plunging necklines came in layers of nude and black tulle, and there was a sheer black wrap gown that left very little to the imagination.
The contrast is what makes it work. Tough, useful clothes for the day and pure seduction after dark, all in a tight palette of black, brown, grey and nude. It is a restrained collection by Ford’s standards, and a very chic one.
