I don't think there is anyone sexier in this world than Tom Ford. And it's not just his beautiful face and body, either. It's also in the way he carries himself, and definitely in the way he dresses.
You see, Tom Ford can't help dressing well. We're talking about the man who totally revolutionized Gucci as a brand. I very firmly feel that no one makes a better suit than Gucci, at least for women. (Their only real competition, in my view, was the late Alexander McQueen, one of my personal favorites.) After Gucci acquired Yves Saint Laurent, Ford was doing double duty as the creative director of that venerable house, as well. Of course, Ford hasn't been with Gucci or YSL since 2004, but his influence is still decidedly present.
Nowadays, Ford is heading up his own label and, occasionally, directing movies. But when he parted ways with Gucci and YSL, a coffee-table book of his work at those houses was released. Images taken by such well-known fashion photographers as Steven Meisel, Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, and many more were included in the volume. This book stands as the testament to Ford's vision as well as his abilities.
Unfortunately, like all good coffee-table books, especially those about fashion, Tom Ford is pricey. In fact, it is so cost-prohibitive that even used copies sell for more than I can afford to pay. Someday, though, I will own this book, because Tom Ford is one of my fashion touchstones, and to live without his work is not an option.
Buy the hardcover edition through Borders for $135.00.

PS Speaking of fashion icons, Sarah over at My Little Boudoir is currently accepting entries for a giveaway of the new paperback edition of Marjorie Hart's Summer at Tiffany, a memoir of her time working for that coveted company. If you can't afford to pick up a copy of Tom Ford, perhaps you could satisfy your need for glitz by reading Hart's book, instead!
