I couldn't have cared less about Gucci when I first went there - but soon after I arrived, I cared a lot.

When you are having fun and creating something you love, it shows in the product. So when a woman is sifting through a rack of clothes, somehow that piece of clothing that you had so much fun designing speaks to her; she responds to it and buys it. I believe you can actually transfer that energy to material things as you're creating them.

From Tom Ford

I am a spiritual person in an eastern religion kind of way. I learned that happiness for all of us is a switch that you flick in your brain. It doesn't have anything to do with getting a new house, a new car, a new girlfriend, or a new pair of shoes. Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today.

From Tom Ford

I find a bath meditative and usually prepare myself for the day in this manner.

From Tom Ford

As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.

From Tom Ford

I hate going out for lunch during a workday because it slows down my pace and ruins my rhythm. I prefer to eat at my desk. Actually, I wander around the design studio with a plate in my hand as I dine on, for example, salmon sashimi and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella. I often have a bit of dark chocolate after lunch.

From Tom Ford

I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well.

From Tom Ford

Advertising is, of course, important because advertise is the final design. It's the last layer that speaks to the customer, that tells them what you have.

From Tom Ford

I'm a believer in fate and in fulfilling your destiny. I've always had a kind of inner voice that I have learned to listen to.

From Tom Ford

My customer has her own sense of style and knows herself well. My goal is to help women become the best version of themselves.
