Last week Ford launched Tom Ford Black Orchid, his first fragrance separate from his collaboration with Estée Lauder. The black bottle carries a 23-carat gold-plate plaque on the front and is also being marketed in a limited edition black crystal Lalique version. The fragrance will be followed by hair drops, an extensive "private" blend of fragrances, a men's grooming line and, by 2008, a make-up line including 96 products. |
December 4, 2006 - Admirers of Tom Ford have something to celebrate
this holiday season - his exodus from the fashion stage proved short
lived. Ford has previously announced plans to launch a men's line, to
be debuted in New York in Spring 2007, and now has set up his own
company, Tom Ford International. Tom Mendenhall, a former Gucci
merchandising director, has been hired as Operating Officer and will
focus on retail development, distribution and managing daily
operations, according to a statement.
