Tom Ford is a big name in the fashion industry. He is one of the most respected American fashion designers who has made a significant impact in the global fashion industry. His creations are always magnificent and exhibiting signs of creativity.
Tom is known for turning Tom Ford into a high-end brand that is today. Since 2006, he has been busy releasing different fashion creations into the market and among them is the colognes for both men and women.
Tom Ford is thought to be by many, the most influential designer of the last decade. With a daring approach to fashion, he once said: “Perfume is worn on the skin, so why hide the body,” after causing a stir with his advertising of YSL M7, a new fragrance at the time. Certainly a designer who knows how to grab attention, his full frontal ad of a naked Samuel de Cubber shook the world of fashion to its foundations. There was more to come.
A floundering Gucci, on the verge of bankruptcy in 1990 took a chance on an unknown designer in Tom Ford. It was the start of a meteoric rise for Ford and an astounding recovery for Gucci. It took Ford a mere 4 years before he was running eleven design lines for Gucci including fragrances, ready-to-wear, and store design. As their new Creative Director, sales under Tom Ford rose by a massive 90% in his first year which heralded the beginning of Gucci’s reestablishment as a household name. By 1999, Gucci was worth $4.3 billion.
Because of Tom Ford’s refreshing and modern take on fashion design, Gucci was soon able to buy Yves Saint Laurent. It wasn’t long before YSL became a leading fragrance maker with such worldwide hits as YSL M7. He also oversaw the production of two of Gucci’s new fragrances, Rush and Envy before his departure in 2004.
Tom Ford went on to build his own fashion empire, Tom Ford, under which he created designs for both men and women from accessories to eyewear. He even went on to become an acclaimed film director and once again made the world open its eyes with the Oscar nominated A Single Man.
Tom Ford was born in Austin, Texas in 1962 and graduated with a degree in architecture. His next target is Hollywood and few would bet against him on this evidence.
