Tom Ford is all Tom Ford all the time these days. He told Vogue UK that nary an established fashion house can tempt him away from his own line:

I learned a tremendous amount from my time at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, but I was always designing within an existing framework. In launching my own line, I am allowed to only create products that I believe in. Everything at Tom Ford is steeped in my DNA—it would be a step backwards for me now to go and design for another fashion house.

Recall that he also nixed rumors about a high-low collab a la the upcoming Maison Martin Margiela x H&M. He is designing the costumes for the upcoming James Bond movie, however, so you can watch that if you'd like to see what the man is up to.
