Totally hunky, totally out superstar designer Tom Ford unveiled plans late last week to expand his own fashion line into a worldwide mega brand, with over 100 Tom Ford stores opening up internationally over the next 10 years.
Milan, London, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Moscow are just some of the places where the boutiques, either wholly-owned or franchise-operated, are expected to open in the next few years. Plus, Ford's line will be carried in Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, as well as in other international luxury department stores from Brazil to Japan.
Ford launched his flagship store on NYC's Madison Avenue in April this year; it got a ton of press for its supposed attention to customer service and its exclusive attitude - including in-house butler and maid service - but was criticized in a big way by the New York Times.
