I highly recommend that you make yourself a cup of coffee, tuck a blanket around you and devote the next 41 minutes to watching this documentary about Tom Ford. The documentary gives a special insight into a fashion designers world of do’s and dont’s (and I tell you, there are a few dont’s), but it also offers you the story of Tom Ford from when he was quite small and very, very style conscious (tending to neurotic) to getting Gucci into a completely different league, then Yves Saint Laurent and in 2005 finally launching his own line of sharp, minimalist and feminine clothes, shoes and acessories. As Mr. Ford says: “If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it.” That’s how it should be, isn’t it?

Jeg kan varmt anbefale dig at lave en kop kaffe, finde et tæppe, tuck’e det godt omkring dig og afse 41 minutter til at se den her dokumentar om Tom Ford. Dokumentaren giver et fint og særligt indblik i en modeskabers verden af do’s and dont’s (and I tell you, der er et par dont’s), men den byder dig også historien om Tom Ford fra han var helt lille og meget, meget stilbevidst (tenderende til neurotisk) over at løfte Gucci op i en helt anden league, dernæst Yves Saint Laurent for i 2005 endeligt at lancere sin egen linie af skarpskårent, minimalistisk, men alligevel, på kvinde-siden that is, feminine klæder. Som Mr. Ford siger: “If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it.” Det er jo sådan, det bør være, ikke?
