If anything, everyone can attest to the clear as daylight fact that Tom Ford likes to provoke. It’s his nature – freeze the world even for a second and obtain a reaction from the humble mortals in front of his divine work. (I’m still talking about Tom Ford, yes!)
The latest fashinternet buzz was created by Tom Ford’s eyewear campaign for the Fall Winter 2010 2011 season. Eyewear campaign that’ll cause a madness, imagine that! Only Ford can go this far! The campaign feature Freja Beha Erichsen and Nicholas Hoult plus a bunch of ravens. (the story continues right after the jump with more images!)
There’s something undoubtedly, unquestionably strange about the imagery and people’s reactions. Kissing ravens? Devilishly smiling while being surrounded by ravens? Breastfeeding a raven? Now that’s something only Ford will be able to get away with. As much as they hate admitting to it, the fashpeople love to feel shocked and appalled. Disgusted, even. It’s in their uberfashionable nature. We, the mere mortals we’ll only see Hitchock all over again and think – oh, look, there’s Freja looking like Harry Potter! – say you didn’t thought about that!

I just saw Carolyn Murphy kissing with a dog and Freja here kiss a raven? Is animalism hot now? Have I missed the buzz? Plus I thought: “That’s an ugly wig and terrible specs!”
Hey, I’m inspired to read Edgar Allen Poe again. That’s so long ago. :)
