My ode to you, Mr Tom Ford
Slipping
my first arm in its sleeve, then the other. I tugged at the collar and
closed the first, second and third button. Before looking in the mirror I
already felt - this
black jacket that appeared ordinary on the hangar was made with me in
mind. Each panel, each stitch, the fabric clinging to the curvature in
my back, the feel, the fit, the feeling that it aroused in me. This was
no ordinary jacket. This was Gucci or best
said by Madonna,‘Gucci, Gucci, Gucci’. This was where my love of Tom
Ford began when he reigned at Gucci!
Tom
Ford. The epitome of luxury. It makes you covet, envy, desire, dream to
own, to have. Whether he dresses Naomi Watts or Justin Timberlake, I
still lust at what either sex
are wearing. It is the crisp sharp tailoring of his suits and the
architecture and fluidity in his dresses. Immortalized forever in a song by Jay Z, 'I rock Tom Ford’.
Behold
the risk taker. Starting his own fashion label in 2004, then opening
his film company Fade To Black in 2005. He directed, produced and
co-wrote his first movie, ‘A Single
Man’ winning critical acclaim and a nomination for best actor.
He continues to showcase the very best in hyper luxury and has won numerous awards for his work in fashion.
He is the perfect, most beautiful ambassador of his brand and I live by his quote,
‘’Dressing well is a form of good manners”.
