The legendary designer on the new launch and what's next.
There are wild stories about Tom Ford interviews. The man is as mythological as his brand — known for sleek glamour of the ultimate old-school Hollywood variety. He’s fashion’s ‘King of Sex.’ And he’s famous for being a perfectionist with an attention to detail rivaling Stanley Kubrick . Editing his films frame by frame, and zooming in to amplify a shade of cantaloupe to give it the ideal tone; getting down on one knee, impeccably mannered, to ask Stella McCartney to be his son’s godparent.

It was interesting because I could so easily remember everything that was happening to me at that time in my life. I look at a dress or a piece of menswear or a photograph and think, ‘Oh yeah, I was living there, I was doing this, that’s why I designed this, this is what was going on in my personal life, this was what was going on in my business life’… So, it was very cathartic and reflective.
