The Original Tom Ford?

As much as I love Tom Ford and his savoir faire, sometimes he (or his publicity team) does lack a certain amount of originality.

I had touched on this once before in a previous post. (see here)

So is there any doubt as to where Mr. Ford (or his team) got the inspiration for the photo below?

I am sure that inspiration came from the below photo of Marc Bohan and model taken in the
1960’s. Or is it just a coincidence?

    Gee, back in the day the two models were roughly the same age, it seems.
    Wonder why it's changed

    And as much as I have long been in lust with Mr Ford, he needs to get out of his own ads.

    You could be right! As for savoir faire, there was something about the '60s that made anything they did so cool and chic. I just saw the old film "Blow Up" and '60s London was so freakin' mod!

    In fact, I like the original better. It's sad when they run out of ideas. Duh!

    You have a great observation Tom. May be Mr. Ford's team does it because50s and 60s are the decades of great style and elegance.

    Well Mr. Tom Fords clothes are outrageously expensive, you have to be a hedge fund manager to afford them, which I am not :)

    That is no model. It's the legend that is Comtesse Jacqueline de Ribes.
