+ A Single Man +

A few of my favorite people, Tom Ford, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore have collaborated to produce a film, A Single Man, most recently released in theatres. What's better than red hot lipstick, dramatic cinematography, well-tailored suits accesorized with cigars, and mahogany color palettes for the eye? Perhaps Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice would compete. But pastoral half - naked scenes belong to the Ninties now. A 21st century Mr. Firth has matured and adapted to the American styles and direction of designer Tom Ford. A Single Man is showing at Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline and Kendall Square Theatre.

Tom Ford Eyewear has also made a splash in effectively framing eyes as well as protecting them against UV rays. A former architect major at Parsons School Of Design, it's easy to see Ford's manipulation of the line.



Ford, a former creative director for Gucci is a fabulous modern day innovator. Not only does he attack the fashion world with his ideas but he is applying himself to other mediums such as film. He shows a horiztonal appreciation for creativity through fashion, photography (an interdependent brother of film), film, and the visual portrayal of words (screenplays fitting with the limits of a frame). Bravo to Tom Ford for exploring the boundaries of the multi-dimensional career.
