Now that you have mentioned, I cannot unsee it
Class, unapologetic, style, respect, reasonability, worldly, and sooo much Grace = Tom Ford. My fashion role model.
Who's your market? What do they wanna see? Put the product there. Brilliant!
Pure honesty, this attribute is sorely lacking nowadays, what with incompetent idiots that make a mess addressing the public nowadays, causing everyone to rely on cryptic corporate PR speak, it's refreshing to see a business leader that is so unapologetically honest without being offensive.
Oh please! I remember when the Catholics including some in my own family were appalled with the necklace but they turned a blind eye to priests sexually abusing children...

one of my favorite things about watching his interviews is for this reason! he does what he does without giving any f***s and keeps it straight up. no BS with him

If there is any organisation that cannot legitimately complain about the (ab)use of penises, it's the catholic church. It is also the last organisation one should apologize to for having done something (they consider) immoral.
"Who's your market? What do they want to see? Put the product there. Why not?" *sly grin*." Love it.
When I wear one of his colognes, I’m always complemented. He’s a nice creator of fashion! And handsome too.
The most beautiful aspect of Tom Ford's mind is it's openness. I so appreciate how he bashes hypocrisy.

I LOOOOVE Tom's reply here :)
i love this guy.
He's just beautiful....
I love Tom Ford he is simply the best. Xxx
I just love the way he blurts things out. He's a dying breed within the gay community. Everyone now is so effeminate, like competing for attention like a woman. Masculinity would attract them more gay men, I'd say? Tom Ford's masculinity is what makes him more sensual.

No, we are not "competing for attention like a woman". Somebody needs to understand that masculinity isn't any better. Misogynistic points of view, in the end.

What an amazing man, a fashion genius, the greatest I feel, and so so good looking and charismatic. I love love love TOM FORD, His clothes make men and women look so good, to be “ fordified” head to toe in his clothes, shoes, bag and makeup is to look your absolute best.
Tom ford is soo handsome 😂😍

You know everytime I look at gucci ads I am wondering - who on earth would actually wear this?? But he just did it. He explained it so perfectly I don't even want to summarize it.. Awesome man! 2:26
He is narrating in a dancing way.

They aren't practically naked the clothing is just more revealing to show the masterpiece of the human body.
This dudes awesome
I love his voice .sexy voice.

His sly grin is so charming
I once bought Tom Ford fragrance, it was so weak I though it was fake, it was the genuine thing.
Long live Tom gorgeous genius Ford!
Vera farmiga did a great job on the interview 👏
I love Tom Ford
Tom Ford Elitist: There are none so elitist as the anti-elitists.
Anyone who looks in the mirror to make themselves 'presentable' is already objectifying themselves.
Now that’s a smart guy!
Love!
You go Tom.!!! F anyone think 🤔 it’s what you think.! And I love your products.!!! ❤️

To really make a statement t they need brass balls.
He's right. I like him even more now. I'm not religious myself, but living around and in a very religious state it is pretty entertaining to piss off religions for things that are sooo petty and ridiculous. I swear the most little ridiculous things piss off certain religions. It is pretty funny. I don't think there is a religion that doesn't take issue for something that a normal Joe off the street would find completely normal and just turn around and go about their day. haha I'm talking about like nudity, sex, porn, alcohol, weed, clubs, rock and roll, how you dress, what you wear etc. Completely legal btw. Those types of things. Then there is the even worse and ironic part of religions and they are within churches themselves that we have been hearing in the news. So really who should be taking issue? I'm wouldn't doubt it if there were a lot more that we don't know about. There is no way I'm going to be apart of that kinda community.
This is - what Tom Ford would look like...if played by Deadpool.😁✌
In ancient Roman religion and magic, the fascinus or fascinum was the embodiment of the divine phallus. The word can refer to the deity himself (Fascinus), to phallus effigies and amulets, and to the spells used to invoke his divine protection.
