TOM FORD TO DIRECT?


Lovers of fashion and caviar can have it all in one rather expensive package this holiday season. Retired couturier Yves Saint Laurent has reprised a 1973 New Year's design for his 2008 "Lovebox" for Pierre Bergé's Prunier caviar house. The 4-oz. tin, containing premium Saint-James caviar, sells for 375 euros, or $556 at current exchange. No-logo types might consider Prunier's "One to One" caviar, a beige box containing 4 oz. of eggs from a single fish, delivered within 24 hours of their harvest in the Bordeaux region, for 250 euros, or $371.




WWD reports

FORD EXPLORER: Could Tom Ford have finally found the material for his film directorial debut? Word is that Ford has set his eyes on directing the movie
adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, "A Single Man." Few details could be learned, and his spokeswoman did not return calls for comment, but the book depicts a day in the life of a gay man in Los Angeles — a notion that Hollywood resident Ford should be all too familiar with. Ford launched his namesake men's bespoke business earlier this year, but has made no secret of his ambitions to break into the movie game since leaving Gucci Group in 2004.
