Tom Ford: A Creative + Intuitive Mind

Early this morning, I found myself surfing the interwebs – only to find the full episode of Tom Ford on Visionaries on the OWN Network. Entranced by every second of the forty something minute episodic exploration into the brilliance that is Tom Ford, all of my senses became excited and sensitized. When you think of Tom Ford, of course you think of all the superlative titles you can imagine for the king of cultural fashion, but instead my mind always wanders to the people and friends that are completely fanatical about the man. And very rightfully so. Yet, after watching this and many other videos that I could gather up on this snowy Saturday morning, what I realized was so special about the man whose pieces are an homage to the form of a woman, was his intuitive nature. Trusting that his vision is guided and failure shouldn’t even be a concern. For every creative being, once you reach that level of faith in your craft, there isn’t anything you create that won’t be a masterpiece. Even if you think that you’re the only one that believes in it, I could just bet that others will start to believe, too. Confidence just works like that.
