Cinematic Style
Designer Tom Ford Bridges the Worlds of Film and Fashion
跨界導演  湯姆?福特的時尚電影觀

ANJALI RAO, CNN ANCHOR
His designs are the epitome of sophistication and style. For 25 years, Tom Ford has been injecting glamour into the world of international fashion, winning him respect within the industry along with a host of A-list devotees.

他的設計是典雅和時髦的縮影，二十五年來，湯姆?福特持續在國際時尚圈注入魅力，讓他在該業界贏得尊敬，也贏得一群名流支持者的心。

Born in Texas, he doubled in acting before setting his sights on design. But it was in the 1990s the self-proclaimed perfectionist made a name for himself by turning the then-struggling fashion house Gucci into a highly profitable business.
湯姆?福特出生於德州，在設定目標做設計以前，他曾兼職演戲。但是是在一九九○年代，自稱為完美主義者的他才聲名大噪，因為他把當時經營困難的時裝公司古馳，轉變為獲利豐厚的企業。

An accomplishment that would later see him launch his own namesake brand and deliver sought-after designs from head to toe and everything in between.
這項成就讓他後來推出自己的同名品牌，發表大受歡迎的設計作品，從頭到腳及之間的一切無所不包。

But it’s not all about fashion for the 49-year-old. He made his directorial debut with the 2009 film, A Single Man, which led to an Oscar nomination for lead actor Collin Firth.
但是對於四十九歲的湯姆?福特來說，他要的不只是時尚。二○○九年的電影《摯愛無盡》是他初執導筒之作，也讓男主角柯林?佛斯獲得奧斯卡金像獎的提名。

First, let’s discuss Tom Ford as a label in its own right. Apparently you were once absolutely terrified about seeing your own name on a label. I’m assuming, though, that with, what, 21 stores around the world now, you’re over that.
首先，我們談談湯姆?福特這個商標本身。顯然你一度對於看到商標上是自己的名字感到十分驚恐。然而，隨著現在全球已有，嗯，二十一間店面開張，我猜你已經習慣了。
