TOM FORD EYEWEAR











Tom Ford was born in Austin, Texas, but spent most of his childhood in Santa Fe, New Mexico. During his teens, Ford moved to New York and enrolled at New York University, initially attending courses in art history. He later redirected his studies to concentrate on architecture at Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris, concluding his training at Parsons in New York.




In 1990, Tom Ford moved to Milan to join Gucci as the companys Womenswear Designer. In 1992, he became Design Director and in 1994 he was appointed Creative Director of Gucci. He was responsible for the design of all product lines, from clothing to perfumes, and for the Groups corporate image, advertising campaigns and store design.




In January 2000, following the acquisition of Yves Saint Laurent and YSL Beaute by the Gucci Group, Tom Ford assumed the position of Creative Director of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and YSL Beaute in addition to his then existing duties at Gucci. Ford worked with all creative teams at YSL to define the overall image and position of the YSL brand including all product categories and communication activities. Ford also served as Creative Director of Gucci Group. In July 2002 he was made Vice Chairman of the Management Board of Gucci Group. In April 2004, Ford resigned from his post at Gucci Group following a buyout by Pinault Printemps Redoute.



During Fords 10 years as Creative Director at Gucci and Gucci Group, sales increased from 230 million dollars in 1994 to almost 3 billion dollars in 2003, making Gucci one of the largest and most profitable luxury brands in the world.





In April 2005, exactly one year after his dramatic departure from Gucci Group, Ford announced the creation of the TOM FORD brand. Ford was joined in this venture by former Gucci Group President and Chief Executive Officer Domenico De Sole who serves as Chairman of the company. As President and CEO of TOM FORD INTERNATIONAL, Ford announced his partnership with Marcolin Group, a global leader in the eyewear industry, to produce and distribute optical frames and sunglasses under the TOM FORD brand. That same day Ford and De Sole announced an alliance with Estee Lauder to create the TOM FORD beauty brand. The collaboration is a two phase, multi year deal. Phase one of this collaboration launched in November 2005 with the highly successful Tom Ford Estee Lauder collection. In phase two, Tom Ford and Estee Lauder will create and market a stand-alone fragrance and beauty collection under the TOM FORD BEAUTY label that launches in November 2006 with a signature fragrance called TOM FORD BLACK ORCHID.




In February 2006, Tom Ford announced a licensing agreement with Ermgenegildo Zegna Group for the production and worldwide distribution of luxury mens ready to wear and made to measure clothing, footwear and accessories under the TOM FORD label. Slated for spring 2007, his first directly operated retail store will open in New York at 845 Madison Avenue to coincide with the debut of the signature TOM FORD menswear and accessory collection.




Tom Fords success in the fashion industry has been recognized by a number of awards including: four awards from the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) (1996), (2001), (2002), (2004) five VH-1 / Vogue Fashion Awards (1995), (1996), (1999), (2002); two awards from the Fashion Editors Club of Japan (FEC) (2000), two ACE awards from the US Accessory Council (2001), (2006); the Style Icon Award in the 1999 Elle Style Awards (UK); the British GQ International Man of the Year Award (2000); the Superstar Award at the Fashion Group Internationals Night of Stars (USA, 2000); Best Fashion Designer, TIME Magazine (2001); GQ Designer of the year (USA, 2001); the Fashion Design Achievement Award at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museums National Design Awards (2003). In March 2004, Tom Ford was honored for his contributions to the worlds of fashion and film with the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style award. In 2005 he received the Andre Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
