Product Information

A fashion icon, provocative American designer Tom Ford brings us his highly anticipated second book, which takes readers through the illustrious trajectory of his billion-dollar luxury empire established in 2005. Max Motta and Mariana Braga for Tom Ford Well, yes, a bit. You’re very candid in the book about the things that field your energy and practice. Wow. So, of course, Book 2 investigates your career and life as a director. How did that come about? Well, yes, a bit. You’re very candid in the book about the things that fueled your energy and practice. I don’t sleep. I enjoy working. I don’t actually know what I would do without working. It fuels everything. I think I’m often the best when I’m working on multiple things at the same time because I’m excited about one thing that I’m doing and that spills over onto everything else because I’m happy. That excitement fuels over and I feel more creative, but it is weird because it also makes you realize how fast it all goes. I do wish I had more time to sit at a cafe and have an omelet mixte and a Coca Light you know, so it’ll be interesting to see what I do now. But honestly I’m seeing it through the lens of having just lost Richard, and now it takes on a different meaning.

Living in Los Angeles and the impact of Hollywood on his brand also are explored. Fatherhood unquestionably has changed Ford, both his outlook and his home life. “Los Angeles is built around life at friends’ houses, around swimming pools, and when you’re raising a 9-year-old, it’s wonderful,” he tells THR. “I drive him to school, we play tennis, go swimming. L.A. works for us.” 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 Film directors, take note: Tom Ford is interested in adding “actor” to his résumé.

About The Author The reason why I wanted to do that at the time was, yes, Gucci and Saint Laurent existed way before I went there, but in the case of Gucci, there really were not runway shows before I went. And there really were not complete collections. I say in the book that you get to give the world your taste once. And it’s true. I made my case at Gucci and then later at Saint Laurent. So I wanted to take that with me when I left and I wanted to put my name on it. What was your mindset in 2004 when you finished the book? Well, yes, that would be one of them. So was there a moment of epiphany when you pivoted on that aspect of your life?
