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

I thought I was fabulous and everyone else was stupid.

Image
If I'm having a bad day I put on the very best thing I have. I polish my shoes, I shine everything up, because that helps me get though the day. It helps me, you know, it's in a sense armor. It says, okay, I'm a mess inside but you know what, on the outside I'm going to be pulled together, everything is okay.

What works with your skin and eyes? Use that to zero in on your wardrobe.
Tom Ford
Image
You have to look inside yourself and you have to say, well, what am I about? Why does anyone need this? Why does anyone need a 'Tom Ford' jacket? What do I believe in?
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.

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.

British men are peacocks. You see a lot more style on the streets here than you see anywhere else, on every level.

There are no right or wrong answers, There is only intuition

Hips are absolutely key to every shape I do, because whatever you do at the top or bottom, you want to keep it slim and narrow on the hips. One thing is for certain: No one, man or woman, wants big hips.

Image
When I read about young designers selling 51 percent of their company to someone else, I cringe. I want to say, 'Don't do it - call me first.'

I have a driver in London because I am slightly dyslexic and cannot drive in the U.K. after all, the traffic runs the opposite way to that in the United States.

Image
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
Image
There aren't many strong or charismatic candidates today, because many people can't withstand the scrutiny.
Tom Ford
Image
I worry constantly and obsess over things, but I just don't let fear stand in the way of doing something that I really want to do.
Tom Ford

Fashion is much more collaborative than one might think. You have to have an idea and vision and you have to communicate that vision to a team of people and you have to create an environment that allows those people to give the best that they can give.

One of the most important things is to figure out what your look is — I don't wear this black suit-white shirt combination all the time to try and be iconic — but because I'm most comfortable in this. Cary Grant never turned up in a pink jacket and hot pants and I don't feel the need to experiment when I know I like dressing this way.

Fashion is, after all, a form of escapism, and in fact people are buying more special things than ever, nowadays. They deny and deny themselves, and wait and wait, and then they get sick of it and spend to make themselves feel better.

I'm living the exact life I planned on living when I was five.

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.
