Didn't one ad have... topiary... in the shape of a Gucci G when Ford was desiging for them?

He gives his clothing to good looking celebrities and makes sure the clothing is properly tailored so that the celebrities look good when photographed. This tricks not-so-good-looking rich people into thinking that if they buy clothes from Tom Ford, they will look as good as the celebrities. But it is false.

In a newspaper article he mentioned that he learned this trick from his clubbing days. Club managers would let in good looking young women for free, and the women would lure the rich bankers who would spend lots of money on overpriced bottles and table service. Tom grasped this significance of this device and applied it to clothing sales.

Tom Ford is a genius, and now you know how he does it.


Wait....you mean so if I buy all of these brands I won't look like the people in the ads??? Or that I cannot aspire to be like the people in them?
Holy ****...you've uncovered a huge scam that is called MARKETING!

Tom Ford deserves the credit for thinking of this, not me. I just want to help people understand how they are being manipulated so they can become better consumers.

You realize that this is nothing new...hence the sarcasm of my post.

I am not so sure that Tom Ford's marketing strategy is revolutionary or innovative.

Nike, Addias and many other employed similiar types of marketing technique: paying millions to well-known athletes to wear their product. The masses, especially our teenagers, were led to believe they will look "cool" if they buy something similiar.

Wow, Tom Ford must be a genius. He invented marketing. I feel set free ...

You like it, the topiary?

I love this ad. There's nothing manlier than a guy yelling at a naked woman grabbing his junk. This guy gets extra manliness points for refusing to make eye contact with the woman he's yelling at while puffing a cigar and drinking a beer.

Thom Brown's strategy is based on convincing people that if they buy Thom Browne products, they will look no more ridiculous than the good looking models made to look ridiculous in Thom Browne clothing, so strangers will assume that they to, despite their ridiculous appearance, are really good looking underneath their Thom Browne clothes.

EUREKA!!!
