^ ooh, where'd you buy it and how much? I've love to read it, especially since it's mostly pictures :lol:

i got it from amazon.co.uk for £55.25 , its a huge book and you get what you pay for , the number of pages is about 415 , definitely buy it !
there is an interview with tom and foreword by anna wintour

and there is a picture of tom at the age of maybe 20 , very interesting because he had shoulder-ish length hair and a picture of him with ysl and another of him with stefano pilati

I NEED the book, hate ordering over the internet though, want it in my hands immediately, dont like other people (FedEx, UPS) handling my sh*t. So I hope it is in stores...just titled TOM FORD? Sorry if I overlooked it, in a bit of a hurry.

I love the new campaign images, thank you for posting them.
Tom would be so hot to hang with. :ninja::crush::muscles:

its ok its called tom ford 10 years , its a black book with big white letters on it spelling out tom ford (just incase you spot it in the book store)
i think its cheaper on amazon , im sure the book stores will have it :flower:
 
Barnes & Noble has it online, haven't checked in-store and I'm the same way, I like buying things in person so I have it in my hands right away :lol:
 
People say that they have trouble obtaining the book from amazon: they say that the shipment blows.

I bought mine when it first came out from B&N. From the bookstore, not online. One MUST also buy Gucci by Gucci the book, since almost all of it is obviously Tom's creations, even though the book doesn't mention him at all. It also has a lot of Tom Ford campaign and runway pics he didn't put in his own book.
 
He is not listed for the same reason you point out in your last sentence. People should watch first and talk later.
 
^you've definitely got me intrigued!!!! if only i could fly over to venice this week to catch its premiere...
 
I'm interested in this movie... but I'm really not interested in seeing Jon Kortajarena in anything. He bores me.
 
It’s no surprise that the feature film directing debut of fashion designer Tom Ford is a thing of heart-stopping beauty. He celebrates the male form with a sensual reverence. He uses colour with the visual articulacy of Wong Kar Wai and frames his shots with elegance and wit. It looks like a Wallpaper magazine photo shoot styled by Douglas Sirk. But what is a little more unexpected, certainly for those who were suspicious of Ford’s background in the ephemeral world of fashion, is that this is no frothy, throwaway piece of pretty silliness. Rather it’s a work of emotional honesty and authenticity which announces the arrival of a serious filmmaking talent. There will be critics who will be unable to get past the director’s background, but rest assured: Tom Ford is the real deal.

Ford’s decision to adapt Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man shows that he is not shy of a challenge. Isherwood’s novel charts a day in the life of George Falconer, a recently-bereaved gay college lecturer in early 1960s LA. The book unfolds predominantly through an interior monologue, a device which is notoriously tricky to transfer to the big screen without resorting to pages of cumbersome voice-over. Ford sidesteps this by keeping the narration to a minimum and instead giving us vivid little glimpses into George’s bruised psyche with some well-chosen flashbacks.
Ford brings one major change to the material. Rather than wander from encounter to encounter through the day, his George is given a purpose – a suicide he plans for with the same precision and impeccable good taste that he brings to everything else in his life. Knowing that this might be his last day on earth, George sees the quotidian banalities of his day to day life with fresh eyes and a new appreciation. The nearness of death makes him more alive than he has been for months. To convey this, Ford warms the colour. George’s grief and loneliness is grey but he rediscovers the world in saturated technicolor. It’s an effective technique but could have done with being dialled down a little, perhaps more subliminal than overt.

In the role of George, Colin Firth gives one of the finest, most affecting performances of his career. Two moments stand out: a flashback to the fateful telephone call which told him of his lover Jim’s death. The camera rests steadily on his face as his world crumbles. It’s a devastating piece of acting. And there’s a lovely little detail later in the film – George buries his face in the fur of a terrier puppy, recapturing the sense memory of doggy smells and happier days spent with Jim and their own pets. More than anything, it’s Ford’s eye for evocative details like this that makes A Single Man such an impressive debut.

I just finished reading the book, and I think adding the suicide aspect might really add to it. It's good to hear of a crossover that's actually successful (well, we'll hear what the other critics say, too, of course) but it was a no-brainer that any film Forld made would be beautiful. What I'm really excited for is the "colour with the visual articulacy of Wong Kar Wai" bit. Well, that and Julianne Moore.:lol:
 
That's quite a review. :shock:

I was curious to see the film before, but now I think I officially need to see it.
 
This film intrigues me. But anything Tom throws himself into does. The suicide at the end-might disturb me because of personal experiences-but I'll see it anyway, and sounds like a good book to read.

Will this just be another NYC/LA premiere film though? I could manage to catch it in L.A. but I'm leaving Zürich soon and moving to Hawaii, I doubt they'll have it there.

If I miss it though, whatever. I am not a Jon fan either.
 
I think Mr Ford is one of those gifted, talented people that can do anything and do it well. Highly enviable
