Tom Ford : Life after Gucci

[Style Savvy]

>> The Visionaries: Tom Ford documentary that has been promised for some time now — "You know I've never let anyone film me like this before," Ford tells the cameras — finally has a premiere date.

This Sunday, Oct. 23, at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT on OWN is it: when Ford talks about being laughed at for wanting to make a movie and gives a tour of his design studio. Director Michael Bonfiglio, who followed Ford — all access — from his return to womenswear in September 2010 through this past February when he opened his Los Angeles store, says of filming the designer: "I think the most memorable thing, actually, was when I finally showed Tom a rough cut of the film. I flew to Los Angeles to show it to him, and I was very nervous. Given how particular he is about his work — and especially because he's a filmmaker — I was anticipating leaving the screening with ten pages of notes about things he wanted changed. We screened it at a hotel, and he brought one of his colleagues to watch it with us. I sat a little bit behind him, so I could see his reactions as he watched — and about 10 minutes in, I could tell he was pleased. When it was over, he had a big smile on his face, told me he loved it, and essentially had no notes — aesthetic or otherwise."

That looks really good. I hope it leaks on the internet.

I'll be watching this documentary and I don't care that it's on OWN, a channel which certainly isn't aimed at people like me (ie. young adults). I'm interested in seeing what Tom has to say and a peak into his life.

This looks incredible, really excited to see the full thing, i hope it appears somewhere online or perhaps a DVD release would be in order .

^ 60 minutes.

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced forever ago, and then postponed like three times.

This looks so good. Hope to find a hideously illegal pirated copy on some dodgy website soon

Me too! I think all the Visionaries will be excellent. I don't even care about Tyler Perry & I thought his was fantastic.

TBH I completely lost track of the series' debut, but if the one preview of this episode that I allowed myself to actually watch is any indication then this series should be amazing.

God...the American concept of creativity (paraphrasing the clips above "I never sleep, I work all the time...."... Ok, then.

I hope I find a download link for this at some point. I really want to watch it.

Oh my that looks amazing! It must end up online somewhere!

 

[CrisGalaxy]

I wonder if somebody could live stream this or something

It was great to see all the behind the scenes stuff. Although I've never really bothered to look much at his latest collections. I just really love the way he lives life the way he wants to. Creating the way he wants to. He is very much fascinated by the whole process of what it's like to be alive. I find that really inspiring. I could listen to him talk for days, I guess. Ah well, watching it again right now!

Thanks Oprah!

It was mostly focused on his first womenswear show, nothing fans don't already know. Still a good watch, even if I felt like playing the drinking game and taking a sip everytime he said "Gucci and Eeeh San Lauwah"

 

[songbirdsel]

Oh pretty please could someone upload it?!

I hope someone uploads it because I'm dying to see it.

In if I felt like playing the drinking game and taking a sip everytime he said "Gucci and Eeeh San Lauwah"

I know! When I first heard him say Eeeh San Lauwah I thought, what? Then I just
