Tom Ford is modern luxury defined. The designer who famously revived Gucci launched his own house in 2005, and eyewear was where it began, created in partnership with Italian manufacturer Marcolin, one of the world’s great eyewear makers since 1961.
Every frame is handcrafted in Italy through more than 70 steps, finished with the signature metal T at the temples, inlaid, aligned and polished by hand. It’s the detail that made Tom Ford eyewear instantly recognisable, from the Whitney and the Cary to the sunglasses worn by James Bond.
"Dressing well is a form of good manners."
