Tom Ford is fashion, plain and simple. Tom Ford has risen through the ranks to become one of if not THE most influential designer of the last decade. Want more proof? In 2004 Tom Ford was the recipient of the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award. It was only given out once before and that was to Giorgio Armani. Ask anyone who saw his final Gucci show and they will tell you when it was all said and done Tom Ford showed he is a true artist who lives and breathes fashion.

Tom Ford was born in Austin Texas in 1962, but spent most of his childhood in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As a teenager he made his move to the Big Apple and enrolled at NY University, in Art History, before changing to take up Architecture at Parsons School of Design in New York.

1986 was the year he joined the creative staff of famous designer Cathy Hardwick who stated she was more than impressed with his portfolio, and two years later he became the Design Director at Perry Ellis. When 1990 rolled around Tom had moved to Milan and joined the team at Gucci, as Women’s Wear Designer.

To think the man who had a hard time breaking into fashion would go down in history as being the single greatest creative force Gucci has ever known. He turned the then struggling company into a sensation all over again. It was said that in Fall of 2003 people spent nearly $4 million in one day to buy up the last of Tom Ford's Gucci fashions!
