Czarina Carine Sets The Record Straight
Sex and Tom Ford cause one more furor
Monday, February 27, 2006
(MILAN) Carine Roitfeld wants you to know she was misquoted. In Guy Trebay’s article about the evolution of sex appeal in fashion last Thursday, the New York Times scribe quoted the French Vogue editor in chief as saying, “You know, I love Tom Ford, and I love what he has done. But Tom is finished, in a way. We have to find a new way to interpret sex.”
Roitfeld, as the fashion community is well aware, is a close friend and confidante of Ford’s on his many projects (it is known that Ford seeks Roitfeld’s advice on each of his endeavors), a fact she reiterated at the Versace show, when explaining her argument about the misquotes. “If I say Tom is finished, then I am finished, too,” Roitfeld stated firmly. “My English is sometimes not so good, so maybe he misinterpreted.”
Over the weekend, Roitfeld—who said Ford had not called her about the comments and would deal with it privately and personally—was in better spirits but still wanted to state her case for the record. “All the sexual fashion of Tom, people try to rip it,” she explained, adding that she did not ultimately address her concern with Trebay, preferring to let it go. “Today, sex is different. It is not necessarily Tom’s kind of sex anymore. But Tom, himself, is not finished.”
