I rock Tom Ford!

“Dressing well is a form of good manners.”

--Tom Ford

We hear the name in songs and see the clothing being modeled on the runway, worn by celebrities and even smell the cologne on our men but who is this person behind the designs and the scent? Its legendary fashion designer, film maker and one of GQ’s 2015 top 50 best dressed men, Tom Ford.  Tom Ford’s designs are strong, sexy and exclusive one of a kind pieces that target confident women and men.  Some of Tom Ford’s inspirations come from his nights spent in NYC famous nightclub Studio 54.  The disco-era glamour became an influence in his clothing as seen in this year’s London’s Fashion week Spring/Summer 2015 collection. 

As far back as I can remember, music have been bringing designers to the forefront, artists are not just wearing the clothes in the videos, but also mentioning the brands and giving designers recognition through their lyrics.  From Lil Kim and Puffy, to Jay-Z who wrote a song called “Tom Ford”. The designer himself was flattered that it was named after him and his favorite verse is “I don’t pop molly, I rock Tom Ford”.  In an interview done by Time magazine, Tom Ford said, “fashion doesn’t stop at clothes; fashion is everything--art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look--all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that’s what excites me.”

Feeling great and looking amazing in your clothes gives one an instant sense of gratification and that is what fashion is all about.  Thanks for reading and follow @meke_poshmeke on Instagram to see exclusive glamorous designs by Tom Ford!
