Tom Ford online
Former Gucci chief director Tom Ford (finally) has a website. The new venture features information on Ford’s eyewear line, his upcoming menswear collection and his new fragrance, Tom Ford Black Orchid. The site describes the scent as having “rich dark accords” and an “alluring potion of black orchids and sultry woods.”
Eventually, according to news reports, Ford plans to have an online shop.
“I think it is important to always address and use the primary media of one’s time and we all have to face the fact that there is no more powerful media than the Internet,” Women’s Wear Daily quoted Ford as saying. “It is how most of us communicate, get our news, entertain ourselves, and increasingly shop.”
WWD reported that the fragrance line would also feature a hair perfume, cleansing oils and hydrating emulsion. According to the industry journal, the line is expected to garner around US$40 million in its first year alone.
I’m not really sure about the difference between perfume and hair perfume though.
Ford also plans “directly owned” stores in New York, London, Milan and Hong Kong. No word yet on Zurich (hmph). And if that’s not keeping him busy, he also plans to launch his menswear collection in April 2007.
No wonder he has stubble all the time. He doesn’t sleep.
