Meet Tom Ford
Fashion designer Tom Ford was interviewed by the BBC's Talking Business programme at London Fashion Week in 2014.
He talks about the ideas behind his 'collection'. A collection is a group of new clothes made by a designer.
Tom Ford uses the present simple and present continuous in the video. Do the activity to see how much you understand and to test your knowledge of the grammar.
Remember, if you need help you can look at the Session Vocabulary box.

Tom it's delightful to talk to you. Talk to me a little bit about the inspiration for your collection.
Tom Ford
Well last fall I think I went right to the edge really with beads, sequins, embroidery, over-the-top colour. And last spring I pulled back a little bit but still it was quite over-the-top. And I think the natural thing as a fashion designer, or at least for me, is always to think: what am I tired of, what do I want to see more of, how am I feeling now? And the natural reaction is to kind of pull back to maybe a quieter luxury that's really all about the shape, all about the line, all about the fabrics, the workmanship. And a little bit modest luxury. I'm not saying that we're seeing any sort of change in the luxury market because our business is great, but I think that maybe it's time just to be a little less ostentatious with it.
