Designer Dynamo: Tom Ford

There are not enough American designers who make it BIG and who continue to evolve their style while maintaining the foundation of style that propelled them to the top.  Tom Ford is an exception–a top notch designer extraordinaire!  Love Tom Ford for reviving the floundering Italian design label Gucci — kisses!
