TOM FORD
"Designers sell a perfect world. A world in which our clients do not need to think because everything has been thought about already." Only a perfectionist like Tom Ford could achieve what he really did in the nineties: transform a dusty label into a coveted symbol of pure luxury- Gucci. Increasing Gucci's revenues from 230 million to almost three billion dollars, Tom Ford became one of the greatest and most famous designers of our time. With creations like his "horsebit bag" adorned with stylized snaffles, the musthave phenomenon was born. His success proves that Tom Ford is not only a designer of genius, but also an accomplished marketing strategist. Born in Austin, Texas 1961, Ford studied at the legendary Parsons School of Design in both New York and Paris.Not even thirty, he joined Gucci as womenswear designer, four years later creative director and six years after that, when Gucci took over Yves Saint Laurent, he was in charge of both fashion houses. Leaving the label in 2004, Tom Ford founded his own brand and aspired to unite tradition, first-class quality and modern design in an elite shop concept. Tom Ford- the "King of Cool".
