You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.
TOM FORDI understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.

TOM FORD -
I don’t believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.
TOM FORD -
The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.
TOM FORD -
I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.
