Tom Ford's store is just under 12,000 square feet over five floors, sumptuously decorated in deep brown velvets, mahogany and marble. In the entrance hangs a dramatic black artwork commissioned by German artist Anselm Reyle -- but no merchandise. "It should feel like a house ... much more private than a store," Ford said.
On the top floor are two private salons for clients considering made-to-measure suits, with a terrace and a bar.
"They love to have a glass of champagne and drink and drink and shop and shop," he said, declining to disclose client names.
One well-advertised customer is Daniel Craig, who wears Tom Ford outfits in the next James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace."
"I think Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery," Ford said. "He likes very simple things. It's hard to get him even to wear diamond cufflinks with a tuxedo."
