Tom Ford/ Thomas Lenthal - Tom Ford - 2004

This colossal, slip-cased deluxe volume showcases 10 years of the most brilliant, most glamorous, most luxurious, and most provocative designs from one of fashion's great icons.

In one decade, Tom Ford transformed a label known for providing clothing for traditional socialites into the sexiest, most decadent line imaginable. Sales exploded at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, creating the powerful luxury goods conglomerate that the Gucci Group is today.

Ford brought a hard-edged style synonymous with 21st century glamour to his clothes, and every one of the thick, glossy pages in this collection reflect Ford’s exceptional taste.

This is a chronicle not only of Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, but it’s also an exploration of Ford's grand vision for the complete design of a brand, including architecture, store design, and advertising.

Fashion’s greatest photographers appear here as well, featuring more than 375 color and B&W photographs—including many previously unpublished images—by icons like Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Todd Eberle, and many other photographers.

Originally published to coincide with his departure from Gucci, this is Ford's testament to a career of singular moments reinventing the boundaries of style and sensuality in clothing.

With an introduction by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and a foreword by Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief at Vogue.
