If anyone's an expert at the dynamics of timeless style<\/a> for both men AND women, it's got to be Tom Ford. The designer, known for taking the helm at the nearly-bankrupt Gucci<\/a>\u00a0back in 1994 and producing multi billion-dollar profits by the time he left ten years later, is a legendary figure in fashion<\/a>. Now back and stronger than ever (adding film producer and Council of Fashion Designers of America award-winner to\u00a0his CV), he has returned to showcasing his collections in London.<\/p>

Behind all the glitz and glamour, there are things about Mr. Ford that we knew little about - until now. He hasn't been shy about opening up about his personal life as of late, sharing in interviews about his design process and thoughts on past experiences. We share some\u00a0top fun facts in the gallery above in celebration of his 54th birthday yesterday. Indeed, some people never age!<\/p>
