Tom Ford will release his second book, “Tom Ford 002,” in November. Published by Rizzoli New York, it features a foreword by Anna Wintour, an introduction by Graydon Carter and a conversation with Bridget Foley.
Ford released his first book, “Tom Ford,” 17 years ago (Rizzoli, 2004), which explored his time as creative director of Gucci. The second book is a visual compilation of Ford’s own brand, which he founded in 2005.
The 444-page book — measuring 10 3/4 x 14 inches — features imagery and personal commentary from the 59-year-old Ford, who was born in Austin, Texas. It chronicles his career post-Gucci, the launch of the Tom Ford brand, the release of his two award-winning feature films “A Single Man” and “Nocturnal Animal,” both of which were Oscar-nominated, and takes the reader through the expansion and evolution of his namesake brand, which encompasses cosmetics, eyewear, and men’s and women’s wear.
