With the publication of a new book dedicated to his life after Gucci, we speak to Tom Ford about fashion, art and sex.
It took him a while to persuade himself to come back to fashion, and he started first with a premium line of fragrances and then formal menswear, and finally, the kind of high-voltage eveningwear he excels at. “That side of me felt great relief that the whole Gucci thing ended after ten years,” he says. “It was a combination of relief and feeling that I’d escaped pretty much unscathed critically… So I kind of felt like, ‘Whew! I made it out.
I'm somebody who doesn't look back and do something, and that's also the nature of fashion. When you turn your back on the runway and walk off, you think, ‘Oh, fuck. What am I going to do now?’ because you can't feel it at that moment in time. You believe in what you just put on the runway, but you know that you're going to feel something completely different after, and it has to be good and relevant at that time. So I rarely look back.
Well, it's flattering, you know, I always thought anytime anyone copies, it's enormously flattering. It also makes you realise that you have hit a certain age, you know that you've become not the young designer anymore, but perhaps – I don't want to say it – you realise that you've been around a while. It’s also nice to know that you've impacted fashion and a lot of those designers today were not even alive when I began my career as a fashion designer.
The world – and fashion – has caught up to the kind of highly-sexualised imagery that you pioneered in your previous roles. Has the way you feel about sexuality also evolved?
