It seems like not only Victoria Beckham tries on her every design to make it look and feel perfect. In a recent interview to Vogue Tom Ford said he tests his entire line of cosmetics to see “how it covers, how it works”. The designer thinks it is good when you know what you offer to your customers.

He said:
I put every single thing on — I don’t wear it down the street, but I want to see how it covers, how it works. When you put your name on something, you want people to know you believe in it.”
During the interview Ford also explained why he prefers to have small presentations of his collections rather than fashion shows:
The reason I present in a small, controlled way is that so much of what makes my clothes special is the cut, the stitching, the lining — things that would be lost on the catwalk. On the catwalk you have to exaggerate, almost.”
Speaking about sexuality Tom Ford hinted that gay-straight thing is always quite ambiguous:
I hate to use the words gay and straight, and I think we’re all on some sort of sliding scale. Of course, I’m at the Richard Buckley end of the scale, but I hate that gay/straight thing.”
The designer also mentioned that he appears on his own campaigns for people to start associating him with his brand:
I’m the face of the brand. With Chanel, you feel that Karl Lagerfeld’s personality has really melded with Coco’s — but not everyone knows yet who I am, so that’s why I’m in the pictures. I don’t like having my picture taken but it helps people to respond . . . My real life’s not like the fantasy Tom Ford world, with naked girls pouring perfume everywhere. It’s more staying in and watching Friends on television.”
