Lucky duck Suzy Menkes (From NY Mag)got a private tour of the new Ford palace with Tommy Boy himself. It’s five floors, 12,000 square feet and drenched in Fordian impeccability. Ford explains he wants the store to feel like a house. He adds a “layer of specialty” with the exclusive sale of fragrance “Italian Cyprus” in the perfumery. The store also offers every kind of leather good imaginable, cuff links, jewelry, riding boots, luggage, canes, walking sticks, and fur hats. Why bestow such Fordian fabulousness on Milan? Unlike Giorgio Armani, Ford thinks Italy is one of those places where men dress really well.
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
