The ‘ole “pays to have friends in high places” was evidenced at the Barclays Center last night where Justin Timberlake kicked off his 20/20 Experience World Tour in eight custom-designed Tom Ford outfits. Another whopping 592 — this is not a test — were created for the band, background vocalists, and dancers. Timberlake’s no stranger to rocking the Ford, having been outfitted in his “Suit and Tie” vid, the 20/20 Experience album art, at this year’s Grammy Awards, and at his wedding (him and his groomsman).
“Justin has great personal style and knows what he wants, which makes designing for him an absolute pleasure,” said Ford, “He is a tremendous talent and has a kind of effortless cool that makes classic menswear tailoring modern.”
