Synonymous with high-octane glamour, opulent sexuality, and fearless fashion, Tom Ford is an iconic designer whose namesake label has devout followers across the globe, from Milan and New Delhi to Shanghai and New York. Seventeen years after his best-selling debut book Tom Ford (2004), which detailed his time as creative director for the Italian label Gucci, this second volume is a visual ode to Ford's eponymous brand created in 2005 and encompasses cosmetics, eyewear, menswear, and his critically acclaimed womenswear line. The revered designer not only catapulted his brand to the highest echelons of the fashion world, receiving accolades from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Time magazine's Best Designer of the Year, but also commanded the attention of Hollywood by featuring loyal A-list fans such as Julianne Moore, Lauren Hutton, Pat Cleveland, and Nicholas Hoult in his runway shows and advertising campaigns. Includes dazzling imagery of Ford's clothing and accessories designs, fashion editorials featuring top models such as Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, Mica Argañaraz, and Jon Kortajarena, and his signature sexually-charged advertising campaigns by photographers such as Inez & Vinoodh, Nick Knight, Steven Meisel, and Mert & Marcus

Die Liebesgeschichte des texanischen Designers Tom Ford mit der Mode beginnt während seines Kunstgeschichtsstudiums in New York, wo er das Nachtlokal „Studio 54“ frequentiert und seine Ideen auf Papierservietten festhält. 1990 wird er Chefdesigner bei Gucci und führt das angeschlagene Label zu einem sensationellen Comeback. 1994 wird er Kreativdirektor und entwirft unter anderem Schuhe, Uhren und Bekleidung, während er auch die Werbekampagnen plant. Fords Einfluss zeigt sich in der Revitalisierung des Gucci-Imperiums, insbesondere durch seine ikonischen Designs wie samtige Hüfthosen und Metallic-Stiefel. Unter seiner Leitung vervierfachte sich der Gewinn von Gucci. Nach der Verlegung des Unternehmensssitzes nach Florenz zieht Ford nach Paris und lebt heute in London. 2003 verlässt er nach 13 Jahren die Gucci-Gruppe und hat seither einen 400-seitigen Bildband über sein Schaffen veröffentlicht, der als einzigartig gilt. Ford wird zudem von „People Magazine“ als einer der 50 schönsten Männer der Welt ausgezeichnet. Sein kreatives Erbe bleibt unbestritten und ist ein Must-have für Modebegeisterte.
