Tom Ford<\/a> just unveiled the final collection for his namesake brand. The legendary designer and CEO went into the archives to reissue some of his favorite looks from the last 13 years.<\/p>\n

For his curtain call, Ford tapped into his cinematic prowess (don’t forget he’s also an accomplished director) and featured supermodels Amber Valletta, Joan Smalls<\/a>, Karen Elson, Karlie Kloss<\/a> and Caroline Trentini posing in a glass display case wearing his ultra-glamorous designs<\/a>. In one image, the models cry while wearing funeral-esque black gowns. In another, Ford looks at the models from outside the vitrine, symbolizing looking back on his extraordinary career.<\/p>\n

After reinvigorating the Italian fashion house Gucci<\/a> and French maison Saint Laurent, Ford launched his own eponymous label in 2005. By 2010, the designer started his first womenswear collection.<\/p>\n

Over a decade later, Ford<\/a> is paying tribute to the quintessential Tom Ford woman, reinstating some of his most memorable designs. There’s a limited re-edition of the fuchsia chrome breastplate Zendaya<\/a> wore to the 2020 Critics Choice Awards, the sequined athletic jersey minidress Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> wore on stage during the Mrs. Carter World Tour<\/em> in 2014 and Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a>‘s white caped gown from the 2012 Academy Awards.<\/p>\n
