Quote

Moving fashion used to be one of my chief goals. It's not necessarily any more. Fashion needs to change when life changes. You only need to move fashion forward when there's a reason to move fashion forward.

When you find somebody good, keep them in your life.

My grandmother was probably the first person who I thought was beautiful. She was incredibly stylish, she had big hair, big cars. I was probably 3 years old, but she was like a cartoon character. She'd swoop into our lives with presents and boxes, and she always smelled great and looked great.

Style is very different from fashion. Once you find something that works, keep it.
Tom Ford
Image
I want to make beautiful clothes for women and men who appreciate detail and quality. The product must be the best but this is almost secondary to the service the customer will receive.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

L.A. is my American city.

I'm living the exact life I planned on living when I was five. My life has taken some turns and changes that I didn't anticipate, and it has brought me different things. I thought material things would bring me happiness, which they didn't. But through this, I have learned what things are important and what aren't.

Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.

To me, beauty and sadness are very closely linked. Truly beautiful things make me sad because I know they are going to fade. When I see a beautiful 20-year-old boy or girl-and they are breathtaking-I am filled with a kind of sadness. But maybe they are beautiful because we know they are not permanent and they are in a kind of transition.

Just because one is spiritual doesn't mean that one doesn't like crocodile, cashmere. We live in a material world. We still experience these things. It doesn't mean to completely disregard them.

Image
I live, I shop almost exclusively on the Internet. I've bought cars on the Internet. I watch television, I do everything on it. I even watch my son online.

Image
I'm a natural-born boss, I have to say. I just like to be good at things. Even as a child, I was boss of my family.
Tom Ford
Image
It was like one of those dreams at high school when everyone else has clothes on except you.

Banking types should take their cue from Gordon Gekko. Or pick the best-looking banker in their firm and copy him.
Tom Ford
Image
I was bullied every day at school because I carried a briefcase. I could have left it at home. But I thought it looked great! I didn't understand why anyone else didn't think so.
Tom Ford
Image
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.
Tom Ford
Image
I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.
Tom Ford
Image
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.

If you're at the Oscars, there's not a man on that red carpet who is not wearing make-up. Most straight actors I know get quite used to it. Even when they go out in real life they grab some sort of bronzer and they throw it on. They dye their eyebrows, they dye their lashes - they know the tricks.
