Karl Lagerfeld Slaps Tom Ford, Loves His Suits

 

In an interview for Time magazine's fashion feature America: Conqueror of the Global Menswear Market, Tom Ford talks about how he filled a gap in the menswear market, wants to focus on his personal relationships in the coming years, and would like to dress Prince Harry, who he thinks "has a great look." The article includes a portrait of Ford photographed by Karl Lagerfeld.

Click to the next item in the feature and you'll find Karl Lagerfeld discussing Tom Ford's suits while sitting alongside his younger counterpart. Sure, hearing Ford describe how he's created a hybrid suit with an English cut and Italian construction is interesting and all (well, not really), but the video of the interview, lead by Time's Kate Betts, is well worth watching. When Lagerfeld refers to his hatred of being touched by strangers (and therefore dreads a suit fitting), Ford reaches over and lays his hand on his chest and shoulder, resulting in a swift and hard slap square on the thigh.

See the video here, and try not to get turned on. If you do, don't admit it to anyone.
