What is the Tom Ford style and for whom is it appropriate?

Even at his drunkest, Peter O'Toole would never have worn such outrageous clothes. Which, from one perspective, is Peter O'Toole's loss. It kind of seems like he should have.

Peter Wyngarde is pretty cool. His filmography includes guest starring in the Avengers' most risque episode.

Are you going to tease-post that photograph of Emma Peel in that spiked choker again?

You know, where you post it for 90 seconds.

Except for the one with the Steed full-frontal shower scene: "What the Butler Saw".

So who wears this sort of style or at least how does he fancy himself? Tom Ford has already given us a pretty good idea of what he wants his men to aspire to with his ads. I have a more virile and even futuristic vision of the sort of man that should be comfortable wearing this style. He is the disastrous scion of an Azerbaijiani oil princess and an Aborigine zinc baron. He can be found at a club with live inguanas carrying the drinks, snorting Bolivian marching powder from the fully scraped and polished, bare behind of a live Inca born on the shores of lake Titncock. Hopefully he lives off the rents from his fleet of chateaus and work is a laughable concept. This fellow doesn't care what the suit costs or whether it is made with a horsehair canvass or a poodle hair one.

The obediant man of style is a different breed. He tends to work at a bank or law firm and relish nights with a brandy snifter basking in the erudition and wittiness of similarly well educated and attired individuals.

I purchased a Tom Ford tie and pocket square. They were quite nice. I think his suits can look proper on the straightest of men if carried properly (See Daniel Craig) or they can look super trendy and over the top. I looked at quite a new in the new boutique inside Harry Rosen in Toronto and there was quite a bitof variety. He had a nice Navy suit and down the rack there was a Double breasted over the top piece that I could never seen a professional wearing.

I thought about it, but I still haven't mastered the NSFW function. Perhaps someone can help me with it. A shame, really, as SF's missing out on the "Queen of Sin." And considering how often I talk about it, SF's missing out quite frequently.

I wonder: Do you think Peter Wyngarde gets more mentions on SF than on any other forum on the Internet?

Well, he is responsible for perhaps the most politically incorrect recording of all time.

Don't click if you are offended easily...er...I mean, if you are capable of being offended.

Tom Ford was a teen in the 70s and a regular at Studio 54. You think that might have left an impression?
