With numerous, high profile partnerships established over his career, Tom Ford soon launched into the world of cosmetics and fragrance with Estée Lauder and former Gucci CEO Domenico De Sole as well as delving into fashion accessories with a sunglasses range with the Marcolin group. These collaborations took one step further when the fashion designer worked with Italian luxury fashion house, Zegna, launching his first range of elegant menswear in 2006 before returning to the high-octane glamour of womenswear that had become his signature and trademark.
