5. Ford’s Interview
Despite his lack of experience, Ford called American designer Cathy Hardwick every day for a month in hopes of securing (getting) a job at her mid-price sportswear company. Eventually, she agreed to see him. Hardwick later recalled the incident: "I had every intention of giving him no hope. I asked him who his favorite European designers were. He said, 'Armani and Chanel.' Months later I asked him why he said that, and he said, 'Because you were wearing something Armani'.

6. Moving to Europe
 "If I was ever going to become a good designer, I had to leave America. My own culture was inhibiting (stopping) me. Too much style in America is tacky (bad). It's looked down upon to be too stylish. Europeans, however, appreciate style.“
Tom Ford
