In a single decade, Tom Ford revitalized the image and sex appeal of two major fashion houses while defining the style of the era. Beginning with his arrival as designer at Gucci in 1994 through to his grand exit in 2004, Tom Ford catalogs the work of this fashion icon for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent in more than 200 photographs by legends such as Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton, expanding beyond his sleek fashion designs to the full scope of his vision, including architecture, store design, and advertising.
