Tom Ford

Tom Ford is one of the few people who has genuinely conquered two notoriously unforgiving art forms. Reviving Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent would have been a career-defining feat on its own, yet he went further, building his own house and then directing A Single Man and Nocturnal Animals with a control of mood most filmmakers never reach. What strikes me is the consistency of his eye: every frame and every garment betrays the same exacting aesthetic. I find his refusal to do anything halfway quietly inspiring.
