To learn a little more about your idols is always a great idea. So we asked ourselves: “What do not we know about modern designers?” The object of our attention was an American designer, director, and gentleman Tom Ford. If you know that Ford was the creative director of Gucci, his trademark touch in the collections is sexuality and pornography and you know that he made the film “A Lonely Man” with Colin Firth in the lead role, then read on. We found 5 unknown facts about the American fashion designer.

“I’m a vegetarian for about a year. When you see how products of animal origin are produced and under what conditions, then any desire disappears to use them, “said Ford in an interview with Vogue.

Emitting fragrances, decorative cosmetics, and clothes under the label Tom Ford, the designer recently confessed about the upcoming collection of ancillary cosmetics for men and women. And although while he “is not yet ready to talk about this”, he promised that the presented assortment will surprise the customers.
