TOM FORD COVERS INTERVIEW

Tom Ford walked out on his fashion career in 2004. The fashion world cringed. Imagine the designer that rerouted fashion to sophistication and glamour making his exit at his peak. What we didn't know was Ford's peak was yet to come. Follow John Currin and Tom Ford as they discuss beautiful women, his naked interview and surprise, surprise sexuality. Read the interview here.

"The end result is something that other people consider sexual, but for me it’s just beautiful."

Oscar MEN In 2010!

Robert Downey Jr. you took my breath away with this outfit. I KNEW it had to be Lanvin and my sources say it is. How could it not be? The bow-tie, the high-tops... it's perfection. I always thought that men got the short stick when it came to the Oscars and now I tell ya-- this is how it's done!



Tom Ford (dressed by Tom Ford as if there were any other choice) and Jake Gyllenhaal dressed by Burberry (as was Woody Harrelson, Ryan Seacrest, Anthony Mack and Guy Pierce). Both Beautiful Tuxedo's, I think Tom Ford's carnation adds a beautiful touch to an otherwise standard Tux. But notice the lapel is rounded and larger than Gyllenhaal's. Beautiful.



And then there was Sharlto Copley who we unfortunately didn't see on-stage. Luckily his ill-fitting South African flag tee's were not to be seen but he did ad a sweet little pin of our flag! I can't say I'm loving her dress though...

Tom Ford's Chelsea Home on the market

Should you have £8.5 million lying around (I do but this isn't my style) then you might be interested to know Tom Ford's Chelsea home is on the market.

And of course as one of the fashion leaders of our time would you expect any less than Chrome walls? You can hear about all the details here which are pretty funny. The house was occupied by Ford 5 years ago but the owner who bought it from him kept everything exactly the same.

It's real Purdy...

Inspiration Saturdays: A single man

Inspiration often comes out of nowhere. Paul Smith even wrote and bound a release entitled 'You can find inspiration in everything, (and if you can't, look again')

So in looking at things differently I went into 'A single man' without any idea of what to expect. All I knew was that Tom Ford, the visionary, was directing his adaptation of the 1964 novel by Christopher Isherwood.




His version, as if a surprise to anyone is much classier and updated with rich cinematography and the most elegant details down to the gold lighter used. In the novel George lived in a very different and far less glamorous way. I'm sure the original George wasn't dressed head to toe in chic Tom Ford suiting... but it's certainly more pleasing to the eye for Fords huge fashionisto following.

Tom Ford wants to be naked, as if we didn't already know!

Mega-designer/director/sex icon Tom Ford is not afraid of nudity. He encourages it not only in his professional life but also in his personal life.

Quoted as saying:

“I stay this way pretty much 24 hours a day. Richard [Buckley, his long time boyfriend] is very funny.

He is usually completely dressed. He does not like to be naked. So he is in the house; we are having dinner.

I am sitting there naked; he is sitting there completely dressed.”

You can see more of images here. Some of them are NSFW though!

Solarium glasses by TOM FORD

I can understand why it took someone like Tom Ford to release the following product. After all he is an icon in both design and sex appeal. His complexion is nothing short of Greek isle bronze which begs the question. How?

In walks Tom Fords' solarium eye covering! Bronzé [TF 140] for either man or woman. The glasses protect your eyes and allow you to concentrate on baking tanning to your hearts content. The stylized plastic frame comes with leather tie back and is available in dark Havana, shiny rose gold and ivory.


The TOM FORD eyewear collection is handmade in Italy by Marcolin.

Tom Ford Movie: Oscar Buzz?

Tom Ford is a vision, that much we know! So it really comes as no surprise that his Directorial Debut 'A Single Man' is already stirring some Oscar Buzz. Starring Julianne Moore and Colin Firth the movie is set in the early 1960's and is based on the acclaimed novel by Christopher Isherwood.



See the exciting trailer below!:

Tom Ford 2010 Campaign

Never the one to shy away from nudity, our beloved Tom Ford released these photo's as his new 2010 press campaign. Naturally Mr. Ford took these shots himself. As if Designing, Acting and Directing wasn't enough now he fancies himself a photographer too. The model was used in his prior campaign.

Tom Ford releases new fragrance 'Vetiver'

Can you handle it? I own a few great scents but I often pick up one of two bottles: Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford. Now with a new fragrance set to be released by Tom Ford, I am anxiously awaiting the day I can pick up a bottle of it's smelly goodness. The name 'Vetiver' is a fragrant grass native to India which is closely related to lemon-grass. It's often cultivated for the essential oil in it's roots- a popular top note in fragrances.

Luxury Obsessed who received an early preview called it "...an absolute classic. It is an extremely dry and crisp fragrance with a sparkling, dry citrus opening evocative of Champagne."

I can't wait. (NOW AVAILABLE IN NORDSTROMS)

Tom Ford Special Edition Quantum of Solace Glasses

Well Of course. Daniel Craig was after all, completely decked out in Tom Ford for the whole movie. The blue tinted glasses, which are also leather trimmed go for £209.00 and can be purchased from my-wardrobe.com

Boot Envy

Winter is a time when your boots get a chance to sniff the cold air once more. Of course for some of us, one pair of boots could never be enough, hence the reason all these designers still have jobs. A lot of European men are wearing them over their trousers, and another style is to casually roll them up to show the ankle down.Here are some that I want.



Zoom in to see these Amazing Helmut Lang Boots worn at a recent exhibit of his. I covet these beauties.


Marc Jacobs with a strong simple ankle boot for any occasion


Tom Ford stretching out to Equestrian wear.


These GORGEOUS boots are from Gucci! I would probably sell my Granny for a pair in my size

Oscar Host Announced

2008's People Magazine "Man of the year" is none other than Wolverine- I mean Hugh Jackman! He gave out an award in 2007 for Best original score but has yet to Host, so I hope he's ready. I think in the spirit of Sarah Jessica Parker-esque hosting, perhaps Jackman could have a few costume changes himself. I think Tom Ford would be appropriate, maybe even some Paul Smith Bespoke suiting...

Spec this out!

Okay, so when I was 13 I faked an eye exam to try get glasses... not the brightest idea considering there was always the alternative of wearing non-prescribed lenses but how was I to know? But there I was, probably the only kid in school who wanted glasses to look cool. Ahead of my time? Erm. I'm thinking no. But a lot of people are doing this now, especially since All round genius Tom Ford has released the best eye-wear for men (and ladies). I'm very tempted to get myself a pair of the Horn-rimmed glasses from Tom Ford, and they go with my James Dean hair cut.







How do you guys feel about the new geek-friendly trend? Paul Smith also has a fantastic range of spectacles, as seen in the last image. His round, Harry Potter style are doing pretty well too. Although when I tried them on it looked awful.
I personally don't think it's an altogether horrible idea to buy non-prescribed glasses if you're doing it the name of style. Perhaps I should have waited a few years to fake that eye-test hmm? It beats wearing your glasses in-doors like soooo many pretentious people I see daily. Are the lights too bright Dear?
