“If I was ever going to become a good designer, I had to leave America. My own culture was inhibiting me. Too much style in America is tacky. It’s looked down upon to be too stylish. Europeans, however, appreciate style.” He led an Italian designer brand with styles inspired by Saville Row tailoring. Then he came back to the US to deliver a slice of that culture we were lacking. He's rebuilding our culture to suit his vision. Thank you, tomford #tomford #Gucci #Nutters #suits #menswear
