Tom Ford

Product Information

I wanted to make clothes to dress women of different ages, different sizes, different tastes, and that’s what I did. I spoke to Ford about what Karl Lagerfeld taught him, how it feels being name-checked in a Jay Z song, and much more. Now more than a decade after his best-selling debut book Tom Ford was released, highlighting his time as Creative Director of Gucci (a position now held by Alessandro Michele), Ford is back with Tom Ford 002 to showcase and celebrate his life’s work. So I’ve always wanted to make films and I bought our house in Los Angeles in the mid ’90s, because I realised, well I’ve always liked LA and I have a certain history here, but I also knew that I was going to do this one day, and I didn’t want people to think it was completely ludicrous, which, as I also say in the book, they did, which I didn’t realise, until I’d already made a movie and everyone said, “Oh my god, we thought you were ridiculous.

So, that one really is the first chapter, and this is the second chapter, and I long to have a third chapter. His designs have increased sales at Gucci tenfold and have helped build the Gucci brand into the luxury goods conglomerate that it is today.

Do you think it’s the fact that they are so uniquely personal that you’ve resisted an urge to watch them again or do you think you might? And the debut of his womenswear collection with an ultra exclusive runway show that featured Beyonce, Juliane Moore, Rita Wilson, Lauren Hutton among other boldfaced names as models.

It took me a while to go back to presenting a unified vision on a runway, but I ultimately found that is what works the best.The menswear was slightly more tempered, if not as traditional as the Tom Ford tux Jason Sudeikis scored in at the Emmys on Monday.
