I think you would agree with me when I say Tom Ford is one of the best Fashion Designers of all times. Wouldn’t you?
Not only because of his great design skills but also because of his business acumen.
He is a real Fashionpreneur.
His work speaks volumes about himself but his words are as genius as his work.
Ready for Tom Ford’s 10 most memorable quotes?
Let’s go:
On Alexander McQueen
“I think that there are fashion designers who are artists. Alexander McQueen was an artist. He was a breathtaking, spectacular, go-down-in-history artist. What I do, and I’ve always said this, is commercial design.”
On his personality
“(I am) a perfectionist to the point of insanity.”
“I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.”
On his legacy
“I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care. I feel like I’ve lived, I feel like I’ve had a great life.”
On bathing
“Yes, I still take my baths all day long. They’re meditative. I have three a day.”
On cosmetic surgery
“In another life I would love to be a cosmetic surgeon because it’s architectural. You know, you are trying to figure out where the seams go. Can I do it in one piece like Halston? Can you formaldehyde DNA?”
On an eyewear advertising campaign
“We shot it with porn stars. Two men and two women. And we paid for them to have sex on set. You don’t see it in the shot, but you feel it.”
On being naked…
‘When I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked.’
On his colleagues…
‘I don’t think I’m a megalomaniac, though you’d have to ask the people who work with me. Either we click or they don’t last very long.’
On his motivation…
‘I don’t work for money any longer. I work for pride.’
On his legacy…
‘I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care.’
