Style guru

Tom Ford is a stylish innovator and a man of influence in today’s pop culture world

Known to be the one who single-handedly saved Gucci from the brink of extinction, transforming it into a style giant, Tom Ford is the proud owner of his own fashion brand that serves men and women. With film and fashion standing firmly in his repertoire, Ford continues to be a man of importance and influence in today’s pop culture world. He has carved out a niche as a stylish innovator and is responsible for making so many celebrities look good like Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, the Olsen Twins and Madonna, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley. For a guy who thrives on being stylish, cutting-edge and keeping the awareness of his brand high, thanks to some loud sexual controversy, Tom Ford can be counted on for high sales, much sizzle, and male celebrity customers namely Johnny Depp, Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hanks and others.
