Without fear of life
Until a few days, when I thought of Tom Ford, inevitably I would ask, before we are born, does it make a lot which is decided what qualities rid every day once we get to Earth? Because, if so, he would have taken all the prizes, bonuses and had accumulated. If not, how else could we explain that someone was so handsome, talented (and in many areas), charismatic, visionary, successful and a huge, endless and so on? The questions intensified last Sunday when I saw him walking down the red carpet, as always, impeccable style and security that made all the other celebrities who had spent months planning their look for the big night practically disappeared. When the talk show host asked the name of the designer of her dress, the imposing security that characterizes it, the handsome Texan replied: Tom Ford.
Seriously, who else he might have attended the ceremony wearing his own brand a, which was also chosen for the occasion by drivers of the event because his first film could possibly be a statue that night? Reflecting on the response I also realized that among his long list of qualities is one that stands out: the lack of fear that has to fulfill their dreams and the confidence with which he knows he will see them accomplished. He did not mind leaving the safety that gave her such a successful career in fashion to start from scratch in the film industry, overall, predicting that as a filmmaker would be very good designer. He financed the film that many predicted would be a failure and now has given so much satisfaction. It has always been: ignored the controversy that arose devised the sensual ads for Gucci in the nineties and with the same aplomb he left the brand after working 14 years on it and have reinvented the sensuality and mood of fashion and of a decade around the world. On February 24, 2004, the day of his last parade as creative director of the Italian brand, walked down the catwalk wearing a black evening dress and a gardenia in his lapel, a smile that showed his satisfaction and pride in accumulated achievements and divined the future, while the audience shed tears of emotion. The hike was accompanied by the emotional song "Free" by Ultra Naté, which talks about taking life by the horns, to free and do with it what they really want.
The Ford is well not surprising, since once declared that as a child wanted to be famous, living in a big city and have a fabulous life, to which he added: "Everything I've done all my life is to fulfill my destiny." Ford's film did not win any awards that night, but long before he had won the satisfaction of knowing that this was only a small step in achieving a great goal. That attitude is what has made him the best in any field that has decided to develop. I have always greatly admired the designer, but now the song I chose to say goodbye to Gucci has become one of my favorites and his vision of life has made me admire the man and has become a daily inspiration to fulfill my destiny and at the same time, enjoy the journey without fear of the challenges that may arise or securities of that sometimes we have to detach. You have to dive into the deeper waters of life even if before doing so we can not see what is in the background, and that probably what we'll find there will exceed our greatest expectations.
It's your life whatcha gonna do
