Milan, Italy CNN —A new dawn rose in Milan on Thursday evening as British designer Peter Hawkings made his hotly anticipated debut in the creative director chair at Tom Ford.
Hawkings said the show was a moment he felt like he'd been preparing for "my entire life."
“Tom handing over the baton obviously meant everything to me.”Ford's high-octane sex appeal was still present in this collection, designed by Hawkings.
“It was important for (the Tom Ford) woman (to) come closer to the man, because I think there was a disconnect before.… due to Tom being in LA and the design team being here.
Claudia Greco/ReutersThe decision to kick-start the Hawkings era in Milan made “total sense” he said.
