Aspiring #sponconner Louise Linton may have tagged #Valentino and #TomFord on her now-notoriously nouveau riche Instagram post, but those storied designers would like you to know that they did not give her these items. She bought them herself, off the rack. Nordstrom Rack, probably.
Writer/director/intellectual/mannequin Tom Ford, one of a few gay men in Hollywood whom I (with considerable delusion, by the way) consider to be my personal nemesis, was profiled by Taffy Brodesser-Akner in GQ this month, and decided to share more of his wackadoo thoughts about life, death, fashion, taking “three to…
Much like the sly grin of someone in a naked Instagram selfie that just barely falls within the platform’s guidelines, Tom Ford’s gratuitous and overwhelmingly dumb new film, Nocturnal Animals, is pathetically convinced of its own audacity. It appears to think watching sexy people in crisis—whether emotional or…
I don’t know what Nocturnal Animals is about, exactly, but based on this trailer, there’s something about Jake Gyllenhaal being sexy and falling in love, Amy Adams being sexy while keeping a secret, Aaron Taylor-Johnson being sexy and wielding a crowbar, and Michael Shannon being sexy while seeking justice.
Tom Ford: aside from the $7000 mini-clutch purses, he’s just like us in that he seems to be very weary of Fashion Week proper. In lieu of a show this year, Ford presented fashion as most of us consume it: online, via video, to a Lady Gaga song.
Happy Bey Day and welcome to Shade Court. We’re heading into Labor Day weekend, where we celebrate the sacrifices of the American labor movement. (Thanks Wikipedia.) I don’t know for sure whether or not judges qualify as part of the labor movement, but this sure feels like a lot of work.
A matronly, 29-year old Amanda Seyfried thinks you younguns need to lay off the 'Grammin'.
In case you have not noticed, The Catholic Establishment freaks out whenever religious iconography is "desecrated," aka someone else besides them is making money off it. In the latest case, noted homophobes the Catholic League are freaking out because Tom Ford put a dick in the shape of a cross at the end of a…
If someone held me down and drowned me in a vat of Cool Water by Davidoff, that fresh masculine scent that somehow evokes a deep-reaching lake, the '90s, and passionate but inept sex, I'd die happy. That's how attached I was, how fond I remain, of my first perfume. And that's not just a strange quirk of my brain;…
London Fashion Week marches on, and yesterday Tom Ford delivered a typically Fordian, which is to say extremely sexy, collection. (How sexy are we talking? Nipple pasty-level sexy.)
Because doing edgy fashion-things involving genitals will never go out of style, Tom Ford has designed some cross-shaped necklaces that, upon closer inspection, reveal themselves to be phalluses. Penises as religious icons: just what this world is lacking.
In today's Tweet Beat, Lisa Rinna brags about her famous neighbors, Conan O'Brien denies that he has an illegitimate son and Hayden Panettiere tries to dispel rumors that Tom Ford didn't want her to wear his clothes to the Golden Globes.
In Today's Tweet Beat, Elizabeth Hurley squashes any hope of a reunion with Hugh Grant, Flea asks a question he knows the answer to and celebs get over their Golden Globes hangovers.
London Fashion Week continues! Yesterday, Tom Ford showed a fall 2013 collection that seemed to channel comic book and Disney villains. Sequins in POW blasts, all-black glam cat burglar ensembles, lurid head-to-toe uniforms perfect for taunting crimefighters, black and white fur coats Cruella de Vil would kill for. …
A sound bite like this isn't exactly unsurprising coming from La St00z, whose previous shocking bon mots include telling the paparazzi to "freeze to death" and saying that being photographed against your will is like "getting raped." During a Marie Claire UK Q&A with Balenciaga creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere,…
Tom Ford has some important advice for Gisele Bündchen. You know, the supermodel. Ford is very concerned about the imminent loss of her physical beauty:
Estée Lauder chairman Leonard Lauder's claim that lipstick sales rise during a recession has been disproven, but overall there has been a 9% increase in sales of high-end cosmetics since last year despite the economic downturn. While shoppers are cutting back on clothing purchases, they're still willing to splurge on…
Russian GQ named designer Tom Ford (or, if you prefer, ТОМ ФОРД) its International Man Of The Year for his services to ruching. The cover is very much in the vein of Tom Ford covers we've seen before: the fully-clothed man of the hour makes a squinty face while reaching out to fondle one of the collection of naked…
Well, this rarely happens! Just when you think the fashion press has completely given up and finally become the toothless lap dogs of their advertisers, a critic will really let rip on one of the industry's holiest of sacred cows.
Reading this transcript of Tom Ford answering frankly posed questions about race is an awkward experience. The designer careens from defensiveness, to dismissiveness, to insecurity, to something perhaps approaching how he actually feels, to downright tone-deaf distastefulness. Ford, who has always favored ethnically…
