  • A look back at Tom Ford in his Gucci Era ahead of the Estee Lauder Acquisition.
    It was 1994 when Tom Ford rose to prominence as the Creative Director of Gucci. This was a time when pop culture was overridden by the Rachel haircut and Calvin Klein aesthetic. Just one year after Tom Ford joined Gucci, sales spiked, with the brand achieving revenues of $500 million. So, how did Tom Ford's Gucci white dress and silk shirt transform not just the almost defunct and bankrupt House of Gucci but also the industry as a whole?

    Agreed. Tom Ford’s Gucci was sooo provocative yet chic. Current Gucci is like trying to sell clothes by clicks.

      Current Gucci is just a fashion hype of un glamorous clothing that caters to street looks.

      Tom Ford‘s Gucci was a copycat of Halston in the 70s.

    Tom Ford’s Gucci REAKED of sex, yet was never overtly sexual. He’s a genius.

    It should be also mentioned that Gucci white dresses were heavily inspired by 70's Halston. Tom being an American designer he combined Gucci luxurious accessories with Halston's simple and flowing cuts to build Gucci where it is today. He also persuaded Pinault to buy not only YSL, but Balenciaga as well. Otherwise, nice video 💕

      That’s incorrect, Gucci acquired YSL while still under Investcorp before PPR (Pinault) acquired the whole of Gucci group

    Look at Gucci fashion shows now. Weird, tasteless and abnormal. The only fashion shows I enjoy watching are the Armani shows. His collections never fail to Impress. Pure elegance, class and beautiful. No wonder why Armani is the biggest in terms of valuation. I hope the brand continues to grow.

    My favorite memory as a teenager in Los Angeles was going to the Gucci boutique with my mom the day after the shows in Milan to get a complimentary copy of the collections on DVD. I still have every single one. The P/E ‘98 campaign with Chris Walters is still my favorite to this day, second only to the A/H ‘00 campaign shot beneath the L.A. freeways.

    Remember all the silk in the 90’s silk shirts and silk suits on woman,he made it so chic and sexy. Todays Gucci or under Alessandro Michele’s Gucci was more grandma chic which I never got. But OMG 90’s Gucci under Tom Ford will go down has gone down in fashion history as one of the best periods.

    It really sucks that Estée Lauder acquired Tom Ford like it does with so many brands, L'oreal does the same. They're monopolizing the industry and they have too much power, it is not right.
