Tom Ford On Jay-Z “Tom Ford”

2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals

Jay-Z loves to wear Tom Ford. So much in fact, that he named a song after him on Magna Carta Holy Grail. WDD spoke with the designer and he had this to say:

“Who would not be flattered to have an entire Jay-Z track named after them?  I mean, come on, it’s pretty rare that something like that happens. It’s a kind of validation of one’s work, as it means that one has really penetrated and made an impact on popular culture.”

“My favorite line is ‘I don’t pop Molly, I rock Tom Ford.’ I love that he gets a ‘high’ from my clothes. I have been dressing him for years now, and I have to say I think he looks great in my clothes. [He] is one of our biggest customers. He let me know about this quite a while ago.”

    Is Tom ford gay? I like his sunglasses line.

    but this beat is dope but word hova super dumbed it down on this track.
    And thankfully no jean Michel basqiat references on it.

    I don’t know if I’ll ever understand supposedly hood/ghetto/urban black rappers showing mad love to gay white clothing designers, yet it doesn’t really work the other way around….I mean, where’s Gucci’s Jay-Z line?

    @ Drew

    ^ that Tommy Hilfiger thing was NEVER true. Do your research, it was urban legend.

  9. Dre says:

    @theblakversionofrobinthicke Hov the reason everybody talk about, tom ford, basquiat, rolex, etc. you probably just havent heard enough jay z’s music

  10. Converse says:

    99.9999% of designers are gay! I could careless just not so sure why ppl are shock at this

  11. Converse says:

    Nah Hillfiger hate niggas!

  12. @ Midsize Germ says:

    Idk where you’re getting that. When Blue Ivy was born, Tom Ford made her a one-of-a-kind custom pair of baby shoes, designed specifically around her feet as a birthday present… idk how much more love you can show somebody.
