It's funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don't think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you're in control.

More quotes by Tom Ford
Dressing well is a kind of good manners, if you ask me. When you're standing in a room, your effect is the same as a chair's effect, or a sculpture's. You're part of someone's view, you're part of that world, and so you should dress well. I find it's a show of respect to try to put on your best face and look as good as you can.
Tom Ford
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?
Tom Ford
I interview these people all the time who come to my office and say, I want to be a fashion designer. I tell them where they should start, and they say, I don't want to do that. I don't want to get anyone coffee. Don't they know it is great to get people coffee?
Tom Ford
Dressing well is an expression of manners.
Tom Ford
Anyone with a long-term partner, anyone with a long-term lover, if that lover dies, you could easily see yourself in a situation where you couldn't see your future and you would be living entirely in the past. It's about that loss.
Tom Ford
Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn't feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.
Tom Ford
British men are peacocks. You see a lot more style on the streets here than you see anywhere else, on every level.
Tom Ford
Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
This is going to sound crazy, but the first thing I do when I get home is take off all my clothes - at home, just around the house. I take everything off. I can't stand clothes! I take everything off - my shoes, my socks, my watch, shirt, everything. I am completely naked.
Tom Ford
When you find somebody good, keep them in your life.
Tom Ford
I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.
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.
Tom Ford
A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.
Tom Ford
My real life’s not like the fantasy Tom Ford world – with naked girls pouring perfume everywhere. It’s more staying in and watching Friends on television.
Tom Ford
A lot of the things I did - it's not going to sound anything but egotistical - if I'm lucky and I did the right thing, they will be at Zara way before I can get them in the store, and I don't like that.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
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
Your name is a funny thing. It stands for what you're about, and everything I do is really about pride.
Tom Ford
Style is very different from fashion. Once you find something that works, keep it.
