Designer&nbsp;Tom&nbsp;Ford, a favorite of Hollywood's top stars, helped kick off&nbsp;Oscar&nbsp;weekend&nbsp;on Friday night moving&nbsp;his&nbsp;runway show featuring looks for fall 2020 to southern California for one of the fashion season's most anticipated events.

With a star-laden front row boasting Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Lopez and Miley Cyrus,&nbsp;Ford&nbsp;showed an extensive collection of women's and men's wear rendered in sultry, sensuous fabrics such as black lace and deep shades of satin.&nbsp;

Sticking mostly to solids but for a few florals and animal prints, the famed designer's collection recalled the free-spirited, casual looks of the late 1960s and early 1970s, in a possible nod to the hit film, 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'.&nbsp;

New York's semi-annual fashion week kicked off on Thursday, but with an earlier-than-usual date of Feb. 9, Hollywood's Academy Awards threaten to divert at least some of the limelight - and star power - from the New York&nbsp;shows.

Besides dressing many of Hollywood's top actors and actresses for the red carpet, he has directed films 'A Single Man' and 'Nocturnal Animals'.

On Friday night&nbsp;Ford&nbsp;dressed female and male models in wide lapelled jackets topping unstructured trousers.

In keeping with the late 60s vibe, blazers were worn over t-shirts and paired with patchwork denim or drawstring pants. Loose-fitting women's tops rendered in natural fibers were sleeveless and seemingly carefree.

For men, there were&nbsp;sexy&nbsp;satin or suede suits in colors popular 50 years ago such as deep rust or wine. The hippy esthetic even got a nod via a lavender print jacket.

Ford&nbsp;ended the show, which was also attended by baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez and actress Kate Hudson, with a series of gowns that suggested Bohemian chic, some backless, others featuring flowing black lace or tiered fringe.
