Tom Ford
Born in Austin, Texas and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Tom Ford is among the most highly respected and
successful designers today. The winner of numerous design awards, his rise in
fashion began in 1994, when he became creative director of Gucci. Not only did he dramatically change the image
of the legendary fashion house, he also led the company to unprecedented
success with his visionary insight into what the modern consumer desires. His
innovative and provocative designs set the tone for an entirely new direction
in the world of luxury goods. In 2000, Ford also
took creative control of Yves Saint Laurent,
a Gucci Group brand,
reviving it with his trademark combination of sensuality and mystique.
In April 2005, one year after leaving Gucci Group, he announced the creation of the TOM FORD brand. A beauty and eyewear collection
launched in 2005 and 2006. In April 2007, his first directly operated retail
store opened in New
York at
845
Madison Avenue to coincide with the debut of the signature TOM FORD Menswear and Accessory Collection. Several
landmark fragrances were launched in succession, includingTOM FORD BLACK ORCHID and TOM FORD GREY VETIVER,
as well as a scent collection for perfume connoisseurs called PRIVATE BLEND.
In 2009, Ford directed, produced and co-wrote his
first feature film entitled “A SINGLE MAN” through his film production company, FADE TO BLACK. The Oscar nominated film has received multiple
awards including the 2009 Best Actor award for Colin Firth at
the Venice Film Festival.

potent vision of modern, feminine glamour, its exquisitely constructed and
beautifully finished suiting, daywear, and eveningwear allow women of all ages
to amplify their individuality and present their most glamorous selves to the
