Fording ahead

Tom Ford is entering the men's clothing market, with what might be a very exciting launch:

What Ford is most excited about is infiltrating the men’s style market. “An Armani suit has a certain look and Armani does a wonderful job with menswear. In other respects, you have Ralph Lauren, who also does a wonderful job. But there is not a strong men’s designer in between those two that gives you something that’s somewhat classic, yet very sexy and sophisticated,” he says, pointing out that men have no modern day equivalent to Chanel couture. “I think men are thinking and acting more like women in the way they choose things. You see straight guys checking out their butts in a pair of pants, which you would not have seen twenty years ago.”
