Tom Ford

American designer Tom Ford has had a whirlwind influence on the fashion sector, working for some of the most prestigious fashion brand over his career before most recently launching his own self titled brand to critical acclaim.

Born in Texas, the bright lights of New York City soon attracted him and it wasnt long before he was a regular on the NYC party scene, becoming a regular at the infamous Studio 54 club.

His first job in fashion came at French brand Chloe, however it was his next role at Gucci where he made his name and succesfully turned around the fortunes of Gucci.

Initially taking over the womens ready to wear division, he soon progressed to becoming creative director, saving Gucci from bankruptcy and repositioning them as the worlds most in demand fashion brand.

After leaving Gucci, Ford used his reputation and skills to launch his own collection which includes the fabulous Tom Ford Sunglasses collection which we stock online.
