I unabashedly adore Tom Ford. A fashion designer who turned around the house of Gucci before starting his own label, and a man who gamely filled in for a shy Rachel McAdams after she refused to strip down for a now famous Vanity Fair cover (Ford was clothed -- knowing full well nibbling on a nude Keira Knightley's ear and Scarlett Johansson in the buff, was enough), I love that he's added movie director to his resume.

 

His debut movie, "A Single Man," adapted from a novel by Christopher Isherwood, follows a 1960's English professor (Colin Firth) who is getting his life in order before readying to...kill himself. The death of his longtime lover (Matthew Goode) has devastated him.

 

It's a sad, beautiful story, starring top notch actors (including the great Julianne Moore) with terrific buzz (it apparently packs quite the emotional wallop). Though I haven't seen it (which kind of amazes me), I'm expecting some wonderful style here. This is Tom Ford, after all. Tom Ford, Renaissance man.

 

With that, I proudly debut the picture's poster here (above, quite obviously). I can't wait for this one. Did I mention I love Tom Ford? I think I did...

 

The movie opens December 11, in select theaters.
