New York - Hot on the heels of
his new eponymous website, launched last week, Tom Ford celebrated his new 
signature fragrance, Tom Ford Black Orchid, at a posh affair in New
York on Thursday, November 2nd at the famed Top of the Rock observatory in
Rockefeller Center.
One year ago, Ford, whose beauty division is a licensee of the Estee Lauder
company, launched a highly successful Amber Nude beauty collection, Amber Nude
for Estee Lauder.
Tom Ford Black Orchid is the first of many new products that will be created
by Ford under his own name in coming months, including a new men's collection.
Among those who made their appearance at Top of the Rock to toast Ford were
Donatella Versace, Gina Gershon, Rachel Roy, Damon Dash, Zac Posen, Carmen Kass,
Cynthia Rowley, Margherita Missoni, Rachel Zoe, French Vogue's Carine Roitfeld
and her daughter Julia Restoin Roitfeld, who is the new face of the ad campaigns
for Tom Ford Black Orchid.
