Tom Ford #2
Tom Ford 002
A fashion icon, provocative American designer Tom Ford brings us his highly anticipated second book, which takes readers through the illustrious trajectory of his billion-dollar luxury empire established in 2005.
Synonymous with high-octane glamour, opulent sexuality, and fearless fashion, Tom Ford is an iconic designer whose namesake label has devout followers across the globe, from Milan and New Delhi to Shanghai and New York. Seventeen years after his best-selling debut book Tom Ford (2004), which detailed his time as creative director for the Italian label Gucci, this second volume is a visual ode to Ford’s eponymous brand created in 2005 and encompasses cosmetics, eyewear, menswear, and his critically acclaimed womenswear line.
The revered designer not only catapulted his brand to the highest echelons of the fashion world—receiving accolades from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Time magazine’s Best Designer of the Year—but also commanded the attention of Hollywood by featuring loyal A-list fans such as Julianne Moore, Lauren Hutton, Pat Cleveland, and Nicholas Hoult in his runway shows and advertising campaigns. This gorgeous slipcased volume includes dazzling imagery of Ford’s clothing and accessories designs, fashion editorials featuring top models such as Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, Mica Argañaraz, and Jon Kortajarena, and his signature sexually-charged advertising campaigns by photographers such as Inez & Vinoodh, Nick Knight, Steven Meisel, and Mert & Marcus.
This volume, printed with Forest Stewardship Council approved materials and edited by Ford personally, reflects his exceptional taste and unapologetic sensual aesthetic and is a true collector’s item for his devotees and connoisseurs of fashion, style, and design.

- Tom Ford can sell sex better than actual sex: but perhaps that's the appeal. Seeing something you know you can't have, is way sexier than having something what you can have (not to mention the production of those sex advertisements are probably not sexy at all)
- Ford has a gift, and he used his gift shamelessly to surprise and to succeed - he absolutely get it, but he gets it because he is naturally good at it. He found the voice within and he trusted his voice

Tom Ford 002 is not merely a coffee table book, it’s a curated archive of aesthetic philosophy and brand evolution. Tom Ford 001 immortalized the sharp-edged hedonism and cinematic minimalism of his tenure at Gucci and YSL, 002 marks a shift: a more introspective, yet still unapologetically polished lens into the icon, and the post-Gucci empire he built under his own name. For those familiar with Ford’s trajectory, the book reads as both a visual diary and a case study in controlled reinvention.
What I Liked:
- The curation is immaculate. From Peter Lindbergh’s stark black and white portraiture to the high gloss campaign stills, every image is loaded with intention. It celebrates not just the product, but the ethos behind it.
- Ford’s own reflections lend an unexpected gravity. There is candor here, particularly around aging, fatherhood, and legacy, which distinguishes 002 from its predecessor’s self-assured bravado.
- The breadth is noteworthy: encompassing menswear, beauty, eyewear, and the architecture of his personal residence. The book captures the full verticality of the Tom Ford brand without ever losing its cohesion.
- The art direction maintains the same forensic precision that defines the fashion label itself, typefaces and negative space.
What I Didn’t:
- While Ford’s personal evolution is compelling, readers looking for insider anecdotes or a dissection of creative processes may find the text reserved.
