After watching Tom Ford's episode on OWN's Visionaries, it made me realize (once again) how cool Tom Ford actually is. From his outstanding career, to his hobbies of making box-office hits, and everything in between, Mr. Ford could easily be described as a renaissance man. His style is paramount compared to anyone else's, and his way of seeing and creating things are so particular and interesting, it leaves you asking so many questions. The one hour program needed to be about three hours longer. And if do happen to want more from Tom Ford, he outlined in British Vogue the fifteen things every man should have...
- A sense of humor
- A daily read of the newspaper
- A sport that you love and are good at
- Tweezers
- A good cologne that becomes a signature
- A well cut dark suit
- A pair of classic black lace-up shoes
- A smart blazer
- The perfect pair of dark denim jeans
- Lots of crisp white cotton shirts
- Always new socks and underwear (throw away the old ones every six months)
- A classic tuxedo
- A beautiful day watch with a metal band
- The perfect sunglasses
- Perfect teeth - if you don't have them, save up and have them fixed
