FLORENCE, ITALY – The Gucci Museum in the piazza Signoria, Florence, Italy, has dedicated two of its rooms to the Italian brand’s former creative director Tom Ford.
Tom Ford gained fame as the creative director at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. In 2006, Ford launched his own Tom Ford label. Ford directed the Oscar-nominated film A Single Man, and, as of 2016, is directing Nocturnal Animals.
The Tom Ford rooms showcase women’s and men’s ready-to-wear in one room and accessories in another. The aim of the spaces is to remind people of the way in which Ford encouraged self-expression through developing a distinctive, sensual aesthetic for the House.
According to the musum description, «the decoration of the rooms and the way in which the items on display are presented contribute to a mood of provocative sensuality that perfectly reflects the image that Ford created for Gucci while he was at the helm of the design team at the label».
In the accessories room bags and shoes on display are presented in glass showcases, as if they were historical artefacts.
