In fashion as in beauty, Tom Ford is nothing if not memorable. To give just one example: the sensation the designer caused in 2011, when he returned to the runway after a six-year hiatus. The show starred a group of his closest confidantes, whom he described as “many of the world’s most inspirational women”—and with friends like Beyoncé, Lauren Hutton, and Marisa Berenson, it was no exaggeration. The casting was a pitch-perfect showcase for Ford’s signature sexed-up ’70s looks. Indeed, the Ford woman exudes seduction, confidence, and the ability to a command any room she enters, a quality that also translates to his wildly successful beauty collection.
