Sales exploded at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, creating the powerful luxury goods conglomerate that the Gucci Group is today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ford brought a hard-edged style synonymous with 21st century glamour to his clothes, and every one of the thick, glossy pages in this collection reflect Ford’s exceptional taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a chronicle not only of Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, but it’s also an exploration of Ford's grand vision for the complete design of a brand, including architecture, store design, and advertising.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fashion’s greatest photographers appear here as well, featuring more than 375 color and B\u0026amp;W photographs—including many previously unpublished images—by icons like Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Todd Eberle, and many other photographers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Originally published to coincide with his departure from Gucci, this is Ford's testament to a career of singular moments reinventing the boundaries of style and sensuality in clothing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an introduction by former \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e editor \u003cb\u003eGraydon Carter \u003c\/b\u003eand a foreword by \u003cb\u003eAnna Wintour\u003c\/b\u003e, Editor-in-Chief at \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eVogue\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e.\"This huge, slipcased Festschrift checks in at 11\"×14\", and covers each of the Gucci years individually, compiling product shots, ads, runway candids, snippets of Ford wisdom (\"I think you have to have personality at a brand—otherwise, it's just clothes\"), Gucci-sporting celebrities and commercial stills. \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e 's Anna Wintour and \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e 's Graydon Carter contribute a foreword and introduction respectively. The much-covered growth at Gucci and YSL are the real story behind the book, to the point where the press chat credits Ford with \"carving out a new industry archetype: the businessman designer.\" But the 375 color and b\u0026amp;w photos, all culled from existing fashion archives, is more of a look back at how Ford's creations were presented (including year-by-year portraits of the photogenic Ford himself), rather than what led to their creation, how they were actually made or how they fit into the culture at large. As a 10-year time capsule of brand fashioning, the book succeeds perfectly.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridget Foley \u003c\/b\u003ehas always loved storytelling.
