Product Description

Tom Ford has become one of fashion's great icons. In the past decade, he transformed Gucci into one of the sexiest fashion brands in the world. His designs have increased sales at Gucci tenfold and have helped build that brand into the luxury goods conglomerate that it is today. Ford brought a hard-edged style synonymous with 21st-century glamour to his clothes, and Hollywood sat up and took note. This book is a complete catalogue of Ford's design work for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent from 1994 to 2004. It chronicles not only Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both houses, but also explores Ford's grand vision for the complete design of a brand, including architecture, store design and advertising. Tom Ford features more than 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Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Todd Eberle, and numerous other photographers including many previously unpublished images.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 has been created with Ford's full co-operation and every page reflects his exceptional taste. It is Ford's testament to a career of singular moments reinventing the boundaries of style and sensuality in clothing.

Tom Ford: Ten Years
I wanted so much to like this book, however most of the images featured are from well publicised advertising campaigns and shots of celebrities wearing the clothes .Image wise there is unfortunately very little that is new for those of us who have opened a fashion magazine in the last 10 years, and for those of you that haven't £65 is too much to pay for the 'privledge'

Amazing
As a true lover of Tom Fords work i found this book mesmerising! There is nothing like it, although it lacks any real information on Tom other than the interview at the front (a very good read) however the images are breathtaking. If you like Tom Ford you MUST own this book
