As a designer, filmmaker, and creative director, TOMFORD has influenced the industry on multiple fronts. Watch the MetGala honorary chair provide a comprehensive overview of his work thus far and the influences behind it:
It would be impossible to tell the story of Tom Ford’s career without moving across multiple mediums. As a designer, filmmaker, and creative director Ford’s influence on fashion is impressively multi-faceted, so when he sat down to recount his life in looks, he had to approach the subject from all angles.
Ford’s commitment to dressing up would inform his work at Gucci, where he revived the Italian luxury powerhouse by introducing sleek, sexy ready-to-wear. Despite his vision being an essential part of the company’s revival, Ford was discouraged from seeking the spotlight, as then-chairman Maurizio Gucci’s wanted to keep its designers anonymous. “It had been in my contract that I was not allowed to step out onto the runway,” Ford explains.
Once established, Ford’s influence helped shape the red carpets of the 1990s and 2000s, with the now-iconic looks he created for women like Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Rihanna, and Beyoncé cementing their status as icons. Performers weren’t the only ones to benefit from Ford’s eye; he also helped to revitalize the wardrobe of the world’s greatest spy. “It was incredible I was able to dress Daniel [Craig] through all of his Bond performances,” says Ford.
While nothing can match the perfection of his meticulous imagination, Ford is no slouch when it comes to executing a concept either. His attention to detail and commitment to glamour made him the perfect person to tackle a room at the Met. Joining fellow directors Radha Blank, Janicza Bravo, Autumn de Wilde, Julie Dash, Tom Ford, Regina King, Martin Scorsese, and Chloé Zhao, he most recently contributed to this year’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” exhibition.
Exploring the nation’s sartorial history is a challenge, but Ford was more than up to the task, given his many contributions to the subject. Still, don’t expect the exacting designer to pat himself on the back. “If you’re a perfectionist like I am, no matter what you achieve, you never really feel satisfied or that it was perfect enough,” he says. “That’s one of the things that drives me, I always feel I could have done something more, so hopefully, I’ll have time in life to do that.
