No problem with Tom Ford but you cannot compare these two when they have completely different impacts on different aspects on Gucci. They've embraced different elements of this brand.

Ma morbida, dolce... non ha cercato di correggerla come in tanti meno famosi di lui che se ne vergognano quasi. Non si è milanizzato.
