For designer Tom Ford, it is goodbye to catwalks in Paris and hello to casting calls in Los Angeles as he looks to a new career as a film director.Manolo says, good for the Tom Ford. It is the best to leave the fashion world when you are all played out.
Ford, the creative director who transformed Gucci from a staid Florentine leather label into one of the world’s sexiest trendsetters, has set up shop in Hollywood and has two movie projects in mind, he said in an interview late on Thursday.
The step from designer to director is an unusual one, but Ford said he feels he can take the artistic vision he brought to the fashion world to the silver screen.
Has the Manolo told you that he, too, is working on the screenplay?
The story it is about a super fantastic shoe designer who, together with his super fantastic car, a black Trans Am, designs the most super fantastic shoes the world has ever seen. The shoes, they are stolen by an evil super villian, Blagerfeld, who trys to use the super fantastic shoes to take over the world. The shoe designer, he and his car, they must get the shoes back before it is too late.
The Manolo, he thinks the Baz should direct the movie, and the Daniel Day Lewis should star as the super fantastic shoe designer. Him, or Russell Crowe.
