Tom Ford

Product Information

I’ve been vegan for about four years, but lately I’ve been eating a little bit of fish every now and then. Instead of solely focusing on fragrance, cosmetics, and eyewear Ford saw a niche in the market for menswear, an empire was born and the rest is history. Now, in a companion volume out this month, a sober and vegan Ford looks back on the many lives that he has lived since then: as a husband and a father, and as a creative visionary who brought his style to the world of the movies as a lauded director, and subsequently managed a powerful fashion and beauty comeback with his eponymous brand.

Brimming with celebrities, the book will have you chanting Jay-Z’s unforgettable “Tom Ford,” named for the designer—which Ford maintains is still one of his most surreal moments. As I look back over this book and over the last 45 years of my career in fashion, I realize that the fashion imagery of our world has become increasingly celebrity-driven. Looking back at that phase of your career and your first book, how do you see that and contemplate that now at this distance?And the debut of his womenswear collection with an ultra exclusive runway show that featured Beyonce, Juliane Moore, Rita Wilson, Lauren Hutton among other boldfaced names as models. I do wish I had more time to sit at a cafe and have an omelette mixte and a Coca Light you know, so it’ll be interesting to see what I do now. She also touches on Ford’s roles as a husband to Richard Buckley (who passed away a few months ago) and a father to their son Jack.

The menswear was slightly more tempered, if not as traditional as the Tom Ford tux Jason Sudeikis scored in at the Emmys on Monday.Really in so many ways, now personally as well, it was the end of the chapter and the end of a period in my life. Tom Ford 002 takes the reader through a glamour-filled journey of all things Tom Ford, featuring previously unpublished images ranging from 2005 to the present day.
