Since Tom [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horse-power-collection)’s return into womenswear, Interview Magazine February 2011 had showcased an in-depth interview with John Currin, photographed by Craig McDean. Tom Ford had singlehandedly brought Gucci back to life, revamped [YSL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushion-foundations) and is the only designer whose tongue-in-cheek advertisements lead to such exposure and sales.

The Ford-Currin dialogue is featured on the Interview [website](http://www.interviewmagazine.com/fashion/tom-ford/). However, for a more in-depth look, you should definitely pick up a copy of the Interview Magazine February 2011 issue, which is rumored to become a collector’s item.
