  • 15 August 2011 I am finishing up the colors for my fall 2012 cosmetics collection this week. It is actually a great deal of fun as we sit in a studio and mix raw pigments until we get the right shades, try them on girls with different skin tones and then edit the collection into a color palette that I feel will be the right direction for fall 2012. From there the factories and our research department take our raw pigment blends and then turn them into real products which we will then test again and create the actual looks that will form the collection. My first collection for this fall [2011] arrives in stores in the US and Europe in October. I name all of the colors myself and someone just asked me what my two favorite names of colors that I had designed where. One is a great red lip color called “Lost Cherry” and the other is a dark nail polish called “Bitter Bitch”. Naming colors is always fun and great names can really help certain colors catch on...

  • 27 September 2011 I was in Las Vegas earlier this month as we had a cocktail party in our store there. It is a beautiful store in a shopping center called “Crystals” that was designed by a great architect called Daniel Libeskind. If you don’t know his work, check it out... www.daniel-libeskind.com/
  • 14 September 2011 Madonna wore a simple black dress that I designed for her last night in Toronto at the screening of her film W.E. I think that she looks great. She has a powerful look and doesn’t need any ornamentation to stand out. She is “Madonna” after all. Her film is very, very beautiful and I know that she worked incredibly hard on it. It is beautifully shot, beautifully costumed, impressively crafted and Andrea Riseborough is spectacular as the Duchess of Windsor. The film also has some moments for me that will become iconic. I know how hard making a film outside of the studio system cam be and Madonna has only my highest regards for her achievement..

Tom Ford Snapshot
Tom Ford was born in Austin, Texas, but spent most of his childhood in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1990, Tom Ford moved to Milan to join Gucci as the company’s Womenswear Designer. In 1992, he became Design Director and in 1994 he was appointed Creative Director of Gucci. He was responsible for the design of all product lines, from clothing to perfumes, and for the Group’s corporate image, advertising campaigns and store design. In January 2000, following the acquisition of Yves Saint Laurent and YSL Beaute by the Gucci Group, Tom Ford assumed the position of Creative Director of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and YSL Beaute in addition to his then existing duties at Gucci. During Ford’s 10 years as Creative Director at Gucci and Gucci Group, sales increased from 230 million dollars in 1994 to almost 3 billion dollars in 2003, making Gucci one of the largest and most profitable luxury brands in the world. In April 2005, Ford announced the creation of the TOM FORD brand. In April 2007, his first directly owned flagship store opened in New York at 845 Madison Avenue and coincided with the much anticipated debut of the TOM FORD menswear and accessory collection. In September 2010, Ford presented his first namesake women’s collection during an intimate presentation in his Madison Avenue store. Presently, there are 30 freestanding stores and shop-in-shops in locations such as Milan, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Dubai, Zurich, New Delhi and Russia.

In March 2005, Ford announced the opening of his film production company, FADE TO BLACK, through which he directed, produced and co-wrote his first feature film entitled 'A Single Man'. Adapted from the Christopher Isherwood novel of the same name, the Oscar nominated film stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult.
