Tom Ford 002

“Starting in the early ’90s, Tom Ford  spent a decade working tirelessly to bring a new level of glamour and success to Yves Saint Laurent and then Gucci; that time was caught in Ford’s first eponymous 416-page keepsake, Tom Ford, published in 2004. As a follow up to that tome, Ford announced today that he will be releasing a second hardcover, this time focusing on his post-Gucci years. Tom Ford 002 will cover everything that’s happened in the designer’s life since he left the Milan-based brand, including launching his namesake label, building up his beauty and fragrance lines, his decision to become a director, and receiving Oscar nods. Now nearing his 60th birthday and with almost 40 years in fashion under his bespoke belt, Ford enlisted Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour to pen the 002’s forward, as well as AirMail founder and former Vanity Fair head Graydon Carter, to write the introduction. Friends in high places, eh?” —DAILY FRONT ROW“Tom Ford will release his second book, Tom Ford 002, in November. Published by Rizzoli New York, it features a foreword by Anna Wintour, an introduction by Graydon Carter and a conversation with Bridget Foley. Ford released his first book, Tom Ford, 17 years ago (Rizzoli, 2004), which explored his time as creative director of Gucci. The second book is a visual compilation of Ford’s own brand, which he founded in 2005.” —WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY“TOM FORD 002 reflects the designer’s taste and unapologetic sensual aesthetic and is a true collector’s item for connoisseurs of unabashed style, design, and of Tom Ford the man.” —MR MAGAZINE“The special collection of photographs comes just in time for the holidays, as the perfect gift for any synonymous fashion lover and Ford fan.” CRFASHIONBOOK.COM“It’s a visual ode to Ford’s eponymous brand created in 2005 and encompasses cosmetics, eyewear, menswear, and his critically acclaimed womenswear line.“ —PROVOKR.COM
