The 42-year-old fashion designer has revealed he shares a close bond with Ford, reported Contactmusic.
"He's always been like a big brother to me. Tom Ford told me, 'never use your own money, use other people's," Scott said.
The designer, who is the creative director of the fashion house Moschino, and runs his own eponymous label, said he loves to collect junk.
"I have a whimsical personality and sense of taste, so I love going to flea markets. Last season I was collecting all kinds of metal elements for a beret collaboration with English icon Judy Blame for the Moschino show," Scott said.
