Tom Ford

One of the first things I learned about Tom Ford was that he was from Austin, Texas. And I went

Huh, Tom Fords from Texas?

2. But Tom Ford is also...gay. Duh. So his cowboy kinda look like this. 

3. Tom Ford....went to Studio 54 a lot. Unsurprisingly.  

4. Tom Ford...left Texas for New York. Obviously.

5. Tom Ford...was the saviour of Gucci. By 90% in sales. 

6. Tom Ford...was the creative director of Yves-Saint-Laurent when the house moved into Gucci. 

And at last...7.  Tom Ford opened up the house of Tom Ford. As the creative director of Gucci and Yves-Saint-Laurent you expect a Tom Ford ad to be bloody good. Let's see shall we?

TOM FORD AD'S

Once you factor in the fact that he's gay, his ads are that much more conceptually interesting somehow. The woman ironing that flers pants while she's naked. The fler somehow looks gay -unless it's the look of all male models, you know could be!- and there's zero sexual tension between them. Yet it's a picture perfect setting. 

I donno sometimes I see male/female sexuality in his ads but mostly I just see fag/hag sexuality. If you don't know what I'm talking about step into a gay club now please, trust me you'll walk out 5X more fashionable.

Tom Ford suited James Bond. Did you see the suit Tom wore to the Oscars by the way? Loving it. He looked very sexy with his one lapel and perfectly cut and fitted suit. Loved the pocket square as well. That man is sexy. 

"One of my friends wants to marry Paul Smith, the other wants to marry Tom Ford."

I want to cry right now cos I'm not a man! Although my bitchy friends would probably go "You're manly enough to wear a suit what." 

And depressed people cannot do blog posts. So check out his collection on his website. Good stuff. Good eyewear man. XOXO POP.
