More quotes by 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
I'm not designing clothes for someone who is doing lines of coke off the table, like I was when I was at Gucci and Saint Laurent
Tom Ford
I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well
Tom Ford
Fashion is ruthless the way every three months you have to think about everything all over again.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
Tom Ford
I find I can get so much done between midnight and 4 a.m. Everything is quiet, no one is disturbing me, and if I go to bed then, I just lie awake thinking of ideas. They are very creative hours for me. One night a week I crash out, though.
Tom Ford
I haven't had any plastic surgery - despite what people think, this is my nose. I have had Restylane and Botox, but I don't think of that as plastic surgery any more.
Tom Ford
Maybe it's because I'm a designer, but when I am in a state of excitement, everything is so sharp and colorful and amazing, and I can look at blue and I see the yellow in it and the green in it, and the green-blues, the yellow-blues, so.
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
The U.S. used to be perceived as the moral leader of the world, and we have absolutely lost that.
Tom Ford
I'm a perfectionist, to the point of insanity.
Tom Ford
Film is an incredible way to express yourself and your vision, as is fashion, but you have to make sure [to] be confident and honest and true to yourself and say something that means something, because that is really the point of any art.
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
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.
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
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.'
Tom Ford
You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.
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
I'm a believer in fate and in fulfilling your destiny. I've always had a kind of inner voice that I have learned to listen to.
Tom Ford
