With London Fashion Week well under way, we've skipped over across the pond so as not to miss a single second of the style scoop!

From the incredible runway shows to the swanky parties, there are exciting events at every corner, and better yet; fantastic talent to meet and greet with.

E! News fashion correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi sat down with the legendary designer Tom Ford and dished on celebrity dressing and the importance of building a top fashion brand. 

In this video, Ford opens up about his success and good fortune with securing a strong following of star clients.

"I dress only celebrities who are real clients. I've been fortunate to dress who I want to dress," he explains.

As for his favorite muse?

"Gwyneth Paltrow for the Oscars that year was the perfect person to dress, and I didn't dress anyone else. I didn't want to. The important thing is not to dress as many people as you can, but to really get the right person."

And it pays off in more ways than one!

Not only is Tom Ford a household name thanks to his loyal celebrity fans that are constantly photographed in his designs, but he's profiting off their fashion taste, too.

"Most of the people I dress come into the store and actually buy the clothes at full retail price. They are customers! They shop!"
