Mr. Ford Returns (Vogue.com)
"[Tom Ford] is doing things differently this time. He objects to the way the Internet eats up fashion images before the clothes can be bought. He despises sections of the press. Private and formal are terms he favors now. And he'd rather people didn't 'Tom' him anymore. At 49, he lets it be known he prefers "'Mr. Ford.'"
