Tom Ford, Book

Tom Ford has become one of fashion's great icons. In the last decade, he has transformed Gucci from a dying accessories brand into one of the sexiest fashion brands in the world. His designs increased Gucci's sales tenfold and helped build the Gucci brand into the luxury goods conglomerate it is today. Ford brought a bold style synonymous with 21st century glamour to his clothes, and Hollywood took notice.

This book is a complete catalogue of Ford's design work for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent from 1994 to 2004. It documents not only Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both houses, but also explores Ford's great vision for the complete design of a brand, including architecture, shop design and advertising.

Tom Ford presents over 200 photographs by Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Todd Eberle and numerous other photographers, including many previously unpublished images. Published to coincide with his departure from Gucci, this book was created with Ford's full co-operation, and every page reflects his exceptional taste. It is Ford's testimony to a career of singular moments, reinventing the limits of style and sensuality in fashion.
