Tom Ford -finally- Speaks About Sluts!

[Bellissima]

I love that he doesnt seem embaressed-nor afraid- to say ANYTHING!

 

[Vella]

What I love about Tom, is the way he used to walk down the catwalk at the end of shows, on his own (not with two model, Karl) and look every bit as good as the models did, and maybe even a little bit better, so listless but sauve.

 

[JuiceMajor]

and taking his Japanese-que bow!

 

[Edwards4Gucci]

Shut up tom u poof.

 

[SignorinaFab]

He's obviously trying to be funny, witty, sarcastic etc. etc., but I think that sort of attitude is very passe. Why can't anyone even pretend to be graceful and intelligent for once?

 

[StyleIsInUs]

Well, I've never liked him. And I still don't.

[DP_woman]

^^^Eww, those guys look thin-wristed (and sl*tty), not powerful at all. They wouldn't be his type, according to him?

I love Tom Ford!

Ditto!!

Did anyone read ALT's Vogue column this month, he sat down with Tom. When they said "the Women" was their favorite movie, I made a beeline for Blockbuster and rented it. That movie is great, but I couldn't believe Tom said he is most like the character of Sylvia, she was b!tch and a blabbermouth. I thought he'd be 'Miriam' because she seemed suave.

When it comes to graceful and intelligent, you really do need the real thing, pretending doesn't cut it

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In the November, 2004 issue of GQ, Tom Ford sits down with the magazine's deputy editor, Michael Hainey, for his most candid interview since parting ways with Gucci last spring after a showdown with management over creative control. Ford tells Hainey that he went through a "sort of depression" after leaving the fashion house he built into a cultural juggernaut, and when asked whether he's afraid for what comes next, he admits that his future is uncertain. "It's not like people haven't had their knives out for me for the last ten years," he says. "And it's a constant. It's true, I might fail. But I'd be more upset if I didn't try anything." Highlights of the interview include:
On his sadness at leaving Gucci: "It was fourteen years of my life. And I knew it was coming, too. The last six months were insane-I was trying to have this amazing show and go out in as strong a way as I could. Now I think I will take a few weeks off-but not really, because I'm going to be working. I just feel like I need a little space."
When asked whether he needed to see a therapist after leaving Gucci, Ford tells Hainey: "I've never seen one. And I would love to. I may do that. I was always traveling so much and never had the time. The last few years, I intended to-because I needed to, because so much was going on."
On his drinking habits while he was at Gucci: "I drank through the whole thing. Maybe I was a bad boss. I think I was a good boss. Five o'clock every day, man, it was cocktail hour. And those cocktails came out, trays of vodka tonics, and the whole staff would keep drinking till like nine, and we'd do that every day, every day. Because in a creative profession, sometimes loosening up is the best idea. Seriously."
On his role in bringing sex into the mainstream: "I think people make more of sex and my sexuality and my views on sex than I do. I'm kind of just myself. Meaning that I've always been quite cool about sex, and comfortable talking about sex, and comfortable having sex, and comfortable with my sexuality ... . I think sex is one of the nice things in life. I don't know why everybody makes a big deal about it. I find violence much more offensive than sex."
On his own sex-symbol status: "No one throws themselves at me, ever. People are either afraid of me or know that I'm married [to Richard Buckley, his companion of eighteen years]." Ford adds: "The fact is, I've become more and more a sex symbol, but it's like it's been less and less sex."
When asked where the image of Tom Ford separates from the reality, Ford tells Hainey: "There are many things in me that are real and true to who I am, who I always have been. I'm sweet. [laughs] I'm romantic. I like to be silly. ... Maybe my image is different, because I am very controlling in my image."
On his renown for having ten-year plans and whether he has one for the next decade: "Maybe less. And I suppose this is something that only comes to people who have had a goal and were fortunate enough to reach it ... . Even if I never did anything again, I will feel that I had a voice in modern culture, that I made my contribution, that I lived my dream, my life. I was super- driven at one point. I'm still driven, but maybe I don't take it as seriously as I did."
When asked what he thinks his obituary will say, Ford tells Hainey he recently designed his own mausoleum: "Tadao Ando, the Japanese architect who built the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, is building a house for us in New Mexico. Actually, we've just broken ground on the mausoleum ... . I'm just sort of having fun with it. Because we're all going to end up dead, so why not have fun with it while you're alive?"
When asked to name what he's cursed with, Ford tells Hainey: "I'm cursed with the pursuit of a kind of perfection that doesn't exist and is unnatural. And it often ruins moments that should just be nice. And I'm working on it. In the fashion industry, by the nature of it, we're always living in tomorrow. Because you're not thinking what's in style now but in eighteen months. And my life is always about that: 'I'm not happy today, but I'll be happy tomorrow. My house is not finished today, but it will be finished tomorrow. When it's finished tomorrow, I'm going to be happy.' And then today just goes away."
On the importance of living for the moment: "Who cares about the past? It's finished! Today, the future, but the past? You can live in that when you're in your eighties. I never live in the past. Other than my looks."
Hainey's article appears in the November 2004 issue of GQ, on newsstands nationwide Tuesday, October 26. GQ is the leading men's general-interest magazine and part of Conde Nast Publications, Inc.

I think thats the whole interview??

^^^tHANKS


LOL @ "I drank through the whole thing".

 

[Harumi]

I think thats the whole interview??

No it's not.
I went to my library to read it and it was actually very funny (in a silly way not in a witty way, Tom's NOT witty nor smart). The journalist was very honest, at one point telling Ford that he was 'totally fabricated'. Ford was 'trying' to induce him to sleep with him in a very unsubtle way, like, right after a lengthy reflexion about the how the death of his dog made realise his how mortality, 'you have nice ankles you know'. Or remarks like
Tom:'should I get a room?
Journalist: 'NO!'
Tom: 'I get a room.'
All the way through the interview! My favourite remark: 'Every man should be f*cked at some point in his life. You shouldn't force you to do it. But it's really not that different than having a massage'. Wonder where he has his massages.
