Linda Yueh

What's special about showing in London at London Fashion Week?

Tom Ford

I love London. I've loved London for years. I moved with the Gucci design offices here in the late 90s. My assistants for years have been English. There's such creativity here. I love the British. I like the formality. And I also like the crazy, eccentric side. I think the people here are the most interesting people in the world. It's where I want to live, it's where I have my life, it's where my son will go to school, so I'm very happy to be here.
