Speaking of Tom Ford, he's on the cover Vanity Fair Germany for October. Unlike Marc Jacobs or Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford isn't as readily recognizable and isn't really in the public eye; it's almost as though he doesn't exist outside of the realm of designing. His suits are splendid and your guaranteed to see at least one on every red carpet but the man behind the tailoring isn't so easy to find. Is it because he doesn't want to be scene? Let's run with that and play with this idea a bit. Maybe he doesn't like all of the lights and attention all of the time and needs his personal space where he can exists without always having to make a scene. Whatever the case may be, when he is seen he looks great, dressed well and he is always so pleasant, it's a real shame that he doesn't come out to play more often. For those of you who don't know Tom worked for Cathy Hardwick and Perry Ellis spending only two years with each but is more famously known for his years of work with the house of Gucci. Starting out as a unknown American designer and working his way up to creative director of not only the women's collection but the men as well. When Gucci acquired YSL in 2002 he was creative director of that line as well, at least until his departure in 2004. Due to differences he decided to part ways with the company and start up his own line; Tom Ford. A line that started with eye wear but now includes: Men and Women accessories, menswear, eyewear and beauty.
