Tom Ford Recruiting Womenswear Designers

Tom Ford has confirmed he’ll launch womenswear under his namesake label. In October he announced he was looking for financing, and everyone in fashion who’s been positively shvitzing over his return to the ladies’ market wondered and hoped he’d come back for fall 2010. Seeing as the fall 2010 shows are almost over, that’s evidently not happening. But WWD has heard Ford is quietly recruiting womenswear designers, and may have an accessories specialist onboard.
