Are you ready for more Tom Ford?



Yes, Tom Ford has finally built his own empire all over again.

Walking thru his high annual rent store at 845 Madison Avenue, with fully trim suede coveted walls, elegant sofas with a lavish bar that is a one of a kind. Truly an "expensive store experience". Did I mention there is a butler that greets you at the door!

But is this all, a money indulgent, risky venture, where his custom-made suits that cost no less than US$5000, puts him in the same market as the more established Saville Row and other big flashy menswear designers? Or is this a sure fire money maker?

Then again, his name is all it takes to identify with luxury, sex and success not to long ago.

Tom Ford does look wanky.....I was looking at other images of Ford in mags and he totally is so up himself.

Word of advice Mr. Ford, don't crash and burn!
