Get to Know Pinterest: Here Are 10 Fashion Pinners You Should Be Following Right Now

If you haven’t hopped on the Pinterest bandwagon yet, you should get on it, pronto. Founded in March 2010, image-based social networking site Pinterest made waves in the start-up world, garnering over 11 million total weekly views in December 2011 — a 4000% increase over six months.

The site allows users to follow other pinners and re-pin (re-post in Pinterest terminology), “like,” and comment on content that others have posted or pinned. Pinners create boards that fall under categories like Art, DIY & Crafts, Home Decor and Women’s Apparel, modeled after thematic mood boards used by magazines and fashion designers for inspirational and organizational purposes. Users can follow all boards created by a user or select individual boards to follow, filtering out pins that aren’t relevant or don’t interest them.

Tom Ford Launches His Full Beauty Collection at Bergdorf Goodman, Talks Halloween With Us

I’m not so jaded and cynical that meeting certain designers doesn’t leave me as excited as a little kid on Halloween. Starlets and actors do nothing for me, but I’m always excited to meet designers, especially ones with as much legend surrounding them as Tom Ford. With that being said: I MET TOM FORD YESTERDAY AND I TOUCHED HIM. (Well, I shook his hand. I didn’t sneak up on him and touch his leg or anything. Not that I didn’t think about it.)

Ford was at Bergdorf Goodman to celebrate the launch of his hotly anticipated beauty collection and to do a customer meet-and-greet and to sign autographs.

You Can Pre-Order the Whole Soon-To-Be-Available Tom Ford Beauty Collection! (Check It Out Here)

The Tom Ford beauty collection launch is almost upon us. While we’ve been hearing that it will be available at the end of October (and we got to see a teaser peek at Fashion’s Night Out at the Tom Ford store), we just found out that the collection will launch at Bergdorf Goodman on November 1 (and you can pre-order now); it’s also available for pre-sale at Neiman Marcus. So you can drool over the whole glorious collection for the next few weeks.

There’s a skin care range, brushes, nail lacquer, eye shadow quads, Ford’s stunning lipsticks (whose success encouraged the launch of this full beauty range) and everything in between. If you were hoping for some really sexy color names, you might be a bit disappointed. The raciest it gets is “Love Bruise” and “Ravish.

10 New Things We Learned About Tom Ford from His Conversation with Bergdorf Goodman

Tom Ford is a man of style. Tom Ford is a man of mystery. Tom Ford is a man who designs four womenswear collections a year and writes and directs an Oscar-nominated film in his “spare time.” But more than that, we don’t know that much about Mr. Ford. Thankfully, Bergdorf Goodman and Lisa Eisner cleared that up for us with their latest installment of a “Bergdorf Goodman Conversation,” (which we read about on Elle.com. Here are the top 10 things we learned about Tom Ford:

1. Tom Ford was born an adult.

I was born fifty. When I was five years old, I wanted to be fifty. I knew exactly what I was going to look like, exactly what I was going to be doing. Although when I was five, I had envisioned that I was going to have very distinguished gray at my temples, which I have decided to avoid. I always wanted to be fifty. I never felt like a little kid. I wanted to be at my parents’ cocktail parties. I wanted to live in a glamorous apartment—I thought in New York, but now I’d rather not live in New York.

Bergdorf Goodman and Lucky magazine have spent the last month searching for this fall’s Faces of 5F, aka ordinary girls who’ll star in the department store’s fall contemporary ad campaign.

The winners will not only appear in the fall campaign, they’ll also be featured in Lucky‘s October issue.
