Fashion Quotables: Stefano Pilati on Why He’s Such a Prude

“I never touch the idea of sex. Sex one of the most complicated things; it’s too subjective. And if you have subjectivity, you have to balance it out - with you skills, your knowledge, the values of your brand. Sex for me is personal.“  Stefano Pilati designer for Yves Saint Laurent on why he’ll never be as sex crazed as Tom Ford.

Fashion Quotables: Karl Lagerfeld

“….”

Well.  I’m not really sure.

Luckily Time has a transcript of this Tom Ford / Karl Lagerfeld interview. Between the Kaiser’s accent and Tom Ford’s dreaminess, I felt dizzy watching the video clip.

The mens discuss menswear principles and construction.

Tom Ford on German Vanity Fair

My date for the Homecoming dance this year, Tom Ford, appears on the cover of the Rocktober issue of German Vanity Fair. I can’t read German, and I don’t care.  The rainy weather today makes my head hurt, but I think I can keep my eyes in focus long enough for this.

Ad-Dict: A Crush

Welcome to the secret nerdy life that is Corey Moran. I saw these cool ad pictures for A Crush, they make covers for your Iphone, and thought it was nifty. It may be because I just got my 3G a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still not over the initial shock of being able to do everything ever with my phone, but regardless I still think this is really cool. There is something about the images that remind me of a Tom Ford ad no?

Thanks Is Mental for the pictures.

Ad-Dict: Tom Ford Eyewear

Tom Ford is never one to shy away on a photo shoot, so when I saw chicken being used in this ad, I was not in the least bit surprised. The big, full hair brings up thoughts of Jackie Kennedy and Amy Winehouse (never thought I would say those two names in the same sentence). Well at least we know Tom feeds his models!

Thanks FabSugar

Fashion Quotable: Stefano Pilati

YSL head designer Stefano Pilati said Tom Ford was nothing compared to the late great YSL himself. Pilati served directly under him at the time as his design deputy. He tells Lynn Hirschberg in The New York Times Magazine coming out this Sunday:

“Tom had a very precise vision of the company that didn’t challenge women … Tom is talented but not gifted. That’s the way he managed the business. Tom would say: ‘We can’t do this silhouette because she looks fat.’ Or, ‘Oh, no — women don’t like this fabric; we can’t use it.’ That mentality was something to learn but was so far from my way of thinking. Why do you want to be safe? I’m more like: Why don’t you wear gray flannel for an evening dress? I find that fantastic! Not Tom, never.”
