My goal is to help women to become the best version of themselves.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.
TOM FORD -
I think that the older you get, the more you become your true, essential self. You find the things that make you happy. You whittle away the parts of yourself that mean less to you.
TOM FORD -
I don’t wear a lot of color. In fact, I don’t actually like color on myself. I love color but it’s very challenging, it’s very powerful, it can overpower you. I think if my eyes were closed and someone put a red jacket on me, I would be able to feel that it was red. I don’t feel great in color.

In another life I would love to be a cosmetic surgeon because it’s architectural. You know, you are trying to figure out where the seams go. Can I do it in one piece like Halston? Can you formaldehyde DNA?

If I’m sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don’t know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, ‘What should I do?’ So it’s meditative.
TOM FORD -
If I were straight and I were trying to seduce a woman, I could do it just by standing up at the table when she came back from the bathroom. It works. Every time I do that, all the straight men are sitting at the table and their wives are kicking them. “Look at that!” “You never do that for me!”
TOM FORD -
I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.
TOM FORD -
I thought I was fabulous and everyone else was stupid.
TOM FORD -
Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.
TOM FORD -
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
TOM FORD -
Glamour is something more than what you put on your body. It has to do with the way you carry yourself and the impact you have on others.
