On the subject of dressing celebrities, Ford stressed the nature of such arrangements. When questioned about celebrity endorsements he says:
“I love that you said the word ‘endorsements’ because I have never paid a celebrity. Now when I hear the word endorsement I think money because to endorse something you usually receive a cheque.”
“I have never paid a celebrity to wear the clothes or anything. I’m happy about that because it means they’re responding, they’re wanting to wear the clothes.”
Ford goes on to name specific favourites that he’s dressed, some are unsurprising, Julianne Moore for example is a firm favourite of Ford’s and wore a red velvet dress by the designer to the BAFTAs.
As to what the future holds for the designer, he is hoping to repeat the success of his debut film ‘A Single Man’ with another turn at movie making; Ford revealed he is in process of casting for a new film he’s hoping to shoot this year.
