I just want to make beautiful, glamorous clothes.

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'm actually very introverted. I'm very shy. I'm very emotional.
Tom Ford
Image
When I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked.

Image
I was the sensitive, shy kid that was teased a lot. I was very definitely bullied. I mean, from an early age, I dressed more like an adult, you know, jackets and very slim trousers and a raincoat. And I - even when I was 7, 8, 9-years-old, carried an attache case to school because I just hated the sloppiness of a book bag.

I'm very direct. I don't have tantrums. I don't yell or shout. I do expect an awful lot from my staff, but no more than I expect of myself.

At home, off-duty, I wear T-shirts from Fruit of the Loom - but I have them tailored.

Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn't feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.

When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.

I like putting on a suit. I like putting on a tie.
Tom Ford
Image
I'm a perfectionist, to the point of insanity.
Tom Ford
Image
I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well
Tom Ford
Image
I don't work for money any longer. I work for pride.
Tom Ford
Image
It's really about putting that sort of quality and beauty back into our life.
Tom Ford
Image
I suppose, yes, I've been guilty of provocation but it's also just common sense marketing - put a bottle of scent in a woman's cleavage, or between her thighs - and men will notice.
Tom Ford
Image
I think that right now we're in a very hard moment and off-putting. I mean, look at shoes today - women's shoes. They couldn't possibly get any higher and meaner and sharper. But then again, you go and watch most films today, they're violent and we're living in a world that is, at the moment, quite hard.

In my adult life I've understood that if I put an enormous amount of love and honesty into something, usually that shows in the end.

Just like girls need to learn to be comfortable in heels before they go out in them for the first time, a man should try wearing a suit throughout a normal day. I do most things in a suit-and sometimes even in a tuxedo-and so I'm really comfortable in one.
