Ford's flair for sultry glamour is in full effect here, with slinky belted jersey dresses and femme fatale-ish leather skirts that seem destined for former muse Carine Roitfeld's wardrobe.
Indeed, Roitfeld is just the sort of strong and sexy power player best suited to Ford's slim-cut tailoring, sheer inserts, and sharp details like zippered hems, chainmail-effect bibs, oversized gold hardware, and the odd safety pin, though a black velvet-sleeved number and Gwyneth's winter-white Oscar gown show a softer touch.
Ford also indulged his animal instincts with an abundance of fur coats (in Technicolor red and yellow) and animal skin, turning out python knee-high boots (some with gold-dipped heels), fitted leather jackets, and a standout croc ensemble.
And let's not forget that to-die-for gold snakeskin evening gown. We'll no doubt be seeing it in countless fashion editorials to come ... if, alas, not our own closet.
