The ever debonair Mr. Ford

If there is one thing I have noticed about most tastemakers it’s that they rarely ever seem to adopt their own influence.

What I mean by that is most top stylists always look so grungy. Most top hairdressers usually have bad hair. I do have an exception however, and his name is Tom Ford. I was afforded the privilege of standing two feet away from this universally renowned designer, and all I can say is that he is breathtaking.

Not only was he so chic in his tailored suit, but he simply glides across the room with his elegant face and *surprisingly* friendly demeanor. All I could do was stand there and hope I didn’t look like an absolute dirt bag, because truthfully I became so self conscious at that moment. All joking aside, this is the man who revived the Gucci label and who brought back Yves Saint Laurent to the mainstream – to the point that we’ve abbreviated it “YSL”. A true genius is Tom Ford.
