Tom Ford has become one of fashion's great icons. In the past
decade, he transformed Gucci from a moribund accessories label into
one of the sexiest fashion brands in the world. His designs have
increased sales at Gucci tenfold and have helped build the Gucci
brand into the luxury goods conglomerate that it is today. Ford
brought a hard-edged style synonymous with 21st century glamour to
his clothes, and Hollywood sat up and took note.
This book is a complete catalogue of Ford's design work for both
Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent from 1994 to 2004. It chronicles not
only Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both houses, but
also explores Ford's grand vision for the complete design of a
brand, including architecture, store design, and advertising.
Tom Ford features more than 200 photographs by Richard Avedon,
Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Terry
Richardson, Craig McDean, Todd Eberle, and numerous other
photographers including many previously unpublished images.
Published to coincide with his departure from Gucci, this book has
been created with Ford's full cooperation and every page reflects
his exceptional taste. It is Ford's testament to a career of
singular moments reinventing the boundaries of style and sensuality
in clothing.
The skilled tailors of Savile Row in Mayfair, central London, have
dressed kings, movie stars, rock legends, billionaires - and even a
few regular guys. A Savile Row suit remains an enduring and highly
individual symbol of the finest a man can buy. From its origins
close to Britain's main royal palaces, the Row has grown from
clothing aristocrats to military men; more recently it has been
revivified by the renewed appreciation of personalized, handmade
goods, and by a new generation of modern sartorialists seeking
'heritage luxury'. Told through eight chronological themes, this
beautifully illustrated celebration brings together Savile Row's
highlights and low-lifes, the dramas and private tales, the suits
and their accoutrements, the fabrics and the cuts, the history and
future, as never before. Each chapter charts a stage of the Row's
development and its contribution to men's fashion and culture.
Throughout the book are dispersed 26 profiles of today's master
tailors, providing insight into what makes their work,
relationships and clothes so special. The book is finely detailed
with reference sections on the anatomy and making of the perfect
suit. This once-in-a-lifetime publication, by the archetypal modern
gentleman and devoted customer of the Row, weaves a fabric rich
with anecdote, personality and sartorial detail.

A personal and complete retrospective by one of the most important
twentieth-century photographers. Elegantly curated by the legendary
photographer and his youngest daughter Frances von Hofmannsthal,
Snowdon looks back at an exceptional life and features a selection
of 175 full-colour and black-and-white stylish fashion photographs
and iconic portraits taken throughout his expansive and influential
career. Having started photographing at a young age, Snowdon
focused primarily on theater, fashion, and society photography
before becoming the official Royal photographer and starting a
six-decade working relationship with Vogue. In 1960, he married
Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II, and in 1961 he
began his illustrious career with The Sunday Times magazine. Known
for his expressive and candid portraits, using both subtle humour
and quiet sincerity, Snowdon's work evokes a sense of familiarity
met with extreme beauty. His successes have branched equally from
the worlds of high fashion and celebrity to the British Royal
family, making his audience vast and beloved. The subjects featured
include Cecil Beaton, Charlie Chaplin, David Bowie, Marlene
Dietrich, Bridgette Riley, David Hockney, Serge Gainsbourg, Yves
Saint Laurent, and Jack Nicholson, among others. Archive material
includes previously unpublished polaroids, private scrapbooks, and
letters.
