Tom Ford's latest beauty venture, Lips & Boys, consists of 50 miniature — or as Ford calls them, "clutch-sized" — lipsticks in his Estée Lauder-licensed beauty line. According to "WWD," each of the 50 shades — named for a man past or present in Ford's life — will also be available for sale separately, beginning Nov. 28 at 12:01 a.m. on tomford.com for one day. On Dec. 26, it will reappear in-store in 200 of the brand's 400 global doors, and in 100 doors in North America. Ford says he's determined to build his beauty brand into an economic powerhouse rivaling that of corporate siblings Clinique, MAC Cosmetics and Estée Lauder. "If I don't believe I have something to say, and if I don't believe that I can compete, I don't do it," Ford said emphatically during an exclusive interview with "WWD." "I've never understood people who wanted to do something and said, 'Oh, I'm going to do this, but I'm just going to be the second-best.' I believe that I have a point of view in beauty, and I believe we have enormous potential." How much potential? The ambitious designer explains further: "I'd like to take it to a $3 billion business, and I'm not kidding at all," Ford said. Read More »
