Zitat des Tages von Tom Ford:
A lot of people think a high armhole is restrictive, but it gives you total movement because it's cut right up to your arm.
I'm actually very introverted. I'm very shy. I'm very emotional.
I told myself that I would not come back to women's fashion until I felt I had something new to say. I feel that fashion has become too serious and that the actual customer's needs have not really been addressed. Fashion needs to make one happy. It is a luxury and should enhance one's quality of life.
I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it's something that comes naturally to us.
From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important.
The dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar.
My own skin-care ritual is quite simple and straightforward; I don't like a lot of fuss, surprisingly. My products are designed to make you look and feel better. I think there are a lot of men out there who want and need the same products.
Once upon a time we did not focus on a president's private life.
September 11th was a moment when America had the sympathy of the world.
We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?
I guess I'm just one of these people who, when I decide I'm going to do something, I just do it.
As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.
I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
L.A. is my American city.
There aren't many strong or charismatic candidates today, because many people can't withstand the scrutiny.
As a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hire great people, support them and make them feel comfortable so they can contribute and give you their best.
British men are peacocks. You see a lot more style on the streets here than you see anywhere else, on every level.
I hate going out for lunch during a workday because it slows down my pace and ruins my rhythm. I prefer to eat at my desk. Actually, I wander around the design studio with a plate in my hand as I dine on, for example, salmon sashimi and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella. I often have a bit of dark chocolate after lunch.
I was not good at team sports, I have to say. I'm quite good at individual sports, but I was not good at team sports, so I wasn't good at baseball and football.
Most everyone now personally knows someone who is openly homosexual.
But as an adult working in the fashion industry, I struggle with materialism. And I'm one of the least materialistic people that exist, because material possessions don't mean much to me. They're beautiful, I enjoy them, they can enhance your life to a certain degree, but they're ultimately not important.
Certain directors are known for a certain kind of beauty; it becomes their signature.
The U.S. used to be perceived as the moral leader of the world, and we have absolutely lost that.
It's really never fair to judge people because none of us know what's going on inside anyone else's head.
There's a different kind of comfort that comes from knowing that you are putting your best foot forward. It's called psychological comfort. Look at a picture of the Coney Island boardwalk in 1925. Men were in full-on three-piece suits, hats. They may have only had one suit. But they pressed it. They made it look as good as possible.
I'm a very serious person.
If my parents had discouraged me, I would have turned out very differently. They raised me in an open-minded, liberal environment.
I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space.
Students in the '60s were responsible for great changes, politically and socially.
Your name is a funny thing. It stands for what you're about, and everything I do is really about pride.
I couldn't have cared less about Gucci when I first went there - but soon after I arrived, I cared a lot.
On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.
Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.
I love black dresses. I think everyone should own a lot, but black dresses don't sell online because on the computer they don't read like anything.
I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don't really need to have New Year's resolutions.
