Knocking on fifty’s door, Tom Ford isn’t letting age prevent him from exploring his talent in many different directions. He gained international fame for his turnaround of the Gucci fashion house and the creation of the Tom Ford label. Then he directed the visually and emotionally stunning story of a gay man in the Oscar-nominated film A Single Man in 2009.
Tom has been with his partner, journalist Richard Buckley, since 1986. But most importantly, that man knows how to make us look bloody good in a suit.
