Who Is Tom Ford And How Did He Get In The Perfume Business?
In 1988, Tom Ford took a job for the fashion house, Perry Ellis, where he worked for two years before becoming bored with American Fashion. In an interview with The New York Times, he stated, “If I was ever going to become a good designer, I had to leave America. My own culture was inhibiting me. Too much style in America is tacky. It's looked down upon to be too stylish. Europeans, however, appreciate style.”
So, in 1990 the American designer stepped in to save Gucci, which was struggling financially. He was put in charge of Gucci’s women’s ready to wear line and Tom Ford moved to Milan to be in the heart of the fashion world.
By the time Tom Ford left Gucci, the company which had been just about bankrupt was valued at 10 billion dollars. In 2006, Tom Ford started his own line which he named after himself. When asked who would be the typical Tom Ford customer, the designer stated that they would be international, cultured, well-travelled and would possess disposable income. He went on to say, “Strong women, intelligent women who know their own style.”
Tom Ford is not without controversy and has taken criticism for using nude women in some of his ad campaigns. People have called the ads, vulgar and sexist and have accused Tom Ford of objectifying women. When asked about that, he replied with, “I am an equal-opportunity objectifier” and added that his is “just as happy to objectify men.”

Tom Ford Orchid Soleil Review Summary
There are very few women on the face of the planet that don’t enjoy indulging in a wonderfully good smelling fragrance or perfume. A little dab behind the ears, at the neckline or a drop on the wrists, can make any woman feel more beautiful.
The newest fragrance that was launched this summer is Tom Ford Orchid Soleil. It reportedly has warm and sensuous tones that make you think of golden sunshine on a hot summer’s day. The designer intended this latest fragrance to compliment earlier “Orchid” versions but was also intended to bring to mind long summer days and warm summer nights.
Sounds appealing and like something most women would want to try, but the one drawback is the high price tag on all of the perfumes in the Tom Ford collection.
If you are a celebrity or someone with lots of disposable income, then I’m pretty sure, you will want to try the latest perfume from this world-renowned designer and Hollywood celebrity. With price tags for Tom Ford products reaching into the stratosphere, this latest sweet smelling endeavor could be out of range for the average woman who doesn’t want to mortgage her house to pay for a bottle of perfume.
