Tom Ford Eyewear
If anyone took the time to read the biography of Tom Ford they would realize that Tom Ford Eyewear was not created over night; in fact, they would see that the entire Tom Ford label has been in makings for over two decades. Born in Texas, Tom lived in Houston for most of his early years. In his later years, he chased the lime-light of acting and appears in 12 national advertisement campaigns simultaneously. However, the limelight in no match for destiny, and it wasn’t long before he started studying design at the famous Parson’s The New School for Design.
Tom left America in the early 90s in pursuit of new fashion. He loved American style but knew that if he was ever going to make it big he would need to immerse himself in different cultures. When he was offered a position of chief women’s ready-to-wear designer for the then, under-achieving luxury goods company, Gucci, it was all uphill from there.
Tom climbed the ranks at the speed of light and within 4 years was promoted to Creative Director. In the 14 years that Tom worked at Gucci, he turned the almost bankrupt brand into a multi-billion dollar success. He worked very long hours, honing his skills and winning numerous awards for his contributions to fashion.
In 2004, Tom left Gucci to due to artistic differences with Gucci’s partner company and part-owner, Pinault-Printemps-Redoute (PPR). However, Tom never left the scene, and in 2005 announced the opening of his own brand, Tom Ford. Everyone knew that this was going to be a huge success, and it was. His designs are still topping all the fashion charts, and he is one of the most sought-after artists in the industry. His vision is second to none and his style is timeless.
Today, we have Tom Ford eyewear, Tom Ford menswear, Tom Ford aftershave and perfumes and a whole range of other Tom Ford products.
Tom Ford Eyewear can be found in all major opticians, department and stand-alone stores worldwide. Described as ‘eclectic, luxe and edgy’, Tom Ford eyewear is the failsafe fashion accessory that has quickly become a must-have.
With the following of Hollywood’s elite, Tom Ford’s star will keep shining brightly. As Tom would say, he is a product, and if his products are anything like him, they will be around and will be the standard that future generations of designers do aspire towards.
