Today is the 567h birthday of the fashion designer and film director Tom Ford. There is no denying his clothing is modern and sexy, his fragrances are new and unexpected, and his films are breathtakingly beautiful. I physically ached for days after seeing Nocturnal Animals. He is one of my very few living personal style icons. His style and how he has crafted a beautiful live personifies a lot of what I strive for in my own life. The world is a better place because he is in it.
