Tom Ford, famous designer, worked with other leading designers before starting his own company. Tom Ford sunglasses are worn all over the world by many, including celebrities. Lady Gaga the singer, actor Brad Pitt and actresses Tori Spelling and Angelina Jolie have recently been seen sporting his models.
Born in Austin, Texas in 1961, Tom studied the history of art, interior architecture and took acting lessons. His interest in acting and fashion (his mother taught him that dress was of paramount importance) lead him into the world of modeling. It was in fashion he decided to train when he completed his education in 1986.
Working for New York designers Cathy Hardwick and Perry Ellis he climbed the ladder and became the latter's Design Director. However his major success came when he moved to Europe deciding to leave the stress of New York when his partner became ill. He started work in Milan, Italy for the leading fashion house, Gucci.
When he arrived at Gucci in 1990 the company was in a very poor state financially but in 1994 he was appointed Creative Director. His innovative ideas for their advertising campaign using a stylist from France and new cameramen boosted the company's popularity. In five years, the Gucci Group's value shot up to $4.3 billion, in ten years, at the time he left them, $10 billion.
His travels expanded when Gucci took over the famous Yves St Laurent business in 2002, now he was flying from Milan to Paris and to London, the home of Gucci's newest design studio. His final collections of the Yves St Laurent, Gucci and Rive Gauche brands in 2004 were an outstanding success. He then formed his own company with an old colleague at Gucci, Domenico de Sole, they called it simply "Tom Ford".
An agreement was reached with the Marcolin Group licensing the design and production of sunglasses and optical frames and to distribute them worldwide under the brand-name "Tom Ford". This collection started in 2005 and due to run until at least 2015 described as iconic, is being worn by celebrities everywhere.
The list of actors and actresses, singers and other celebrities who wear Tom Ford sunglasses is endless. Look on the internet and find a site specially made to show you who is wearing which model. One of the most popular models, the Tom Ford 108 was worn by Daniel Craig in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. The frame of semi-matte rhodium has black temple tips and the lenses are smoke blue. It comes in a special case emblazoned with the James Bond logo, that is if you can get one from an auction house as they are no longer in production
