‘Tom Ford Documentary’ by OWN Visionaries
Style Forum Special from Music Guy on Vimeo.
Designer Tom Ford recently made headlines with his straightforward quotes in an article in Interview magazine where he admitted that he lusts after beautiful women. In this forty minute interview, Tom Ford reveals more brutally honest opinions on life and the fashion industry.
Produced by Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) Visionaries, the normally reclusive designer allows cameras to follow him through design processes, photoshoots, the debut of his women’s’ collection and the opening of his flagship store in Los Angeles while providing commentary on topics from fashion, brand development, producing and directing his first film (i.e. The Single Man) and his own personal discovery.
The documentary provides an insight into the mind of Tom Ford who has gained tremendous success in the competitive fashion industry and reveals someone who is genuinely in-touch with what is important in life amidst an extremely superficial community.

Apple to launch completely redesigned iPhone in Fall 2012
BGR Article –
BGR has learned a number of details surrounding Apple’s next-generation iPhone from a close source. For starters, we can now confidently say that Apple’s next iPhone will launch in the fall next year, around the same time that this year’s iPhone 4S launched. We have also learned that Apple is planning to use a rubber or plastic material — similar to the material used in the company’s bumper cases — that will be built into the new iPhone case. In all likelihood, this material will be used as a bezel surrounding the front edge of the phone (like the iPhone 3GS bezel) and it will serve two purposes. First, it will join the glass iPhone face with a new aluminum back plate. It will also cover a redesigned antenna system that surrounds the device, allowing Apple to build the rear case out of aluminum without having to use a large plastic insert above the antennas as the company does on its iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Earlier reports suggested that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will feature an aluminum case similar to the one found on the iPad 2, as well as a larger display around 4 inches.

In two parts, the videos show Kidult in an altered voice giving his opinions on what graffiti should be while shocking images of war and famine flash on.
