Does designer Tom Ford have a beef with big guys?
That’s what Italian investor and photographer Jean Pigozzi is alleging.
According to the December issue of Vanity Fair, Pigozzi (he’s 6′4″, wears a size XXL) was at Ford’s celebrated men’s store in Manhattan and later complained to the designer (and now movie director) that he was not feeling the love.
Pigozzi related this conversation with Ford: “Tom, I went to your shop. I couldn’t buy a handkerchief. Tom said, ‘You know why? I don’t want big fat guys like you in my shop’ . . . But I think he’s making a mistake because big guys like me have the money.”
It seems that Pigozzi favors patterned tops and has opened his own boutique with men’s casual wear in meatpacking district called Limoland.
Still waiting to find out of Mr. Ford is claiming to have been misquoted.
