Born August 27, 1961 in Austin, Texas is an American designer and film director.

He spent his childhood in San Marcos. When he was 11, the family moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

At the age of 17, he independently went to New York to study, where he entered the university. Ford began his career as a TV commercial model before studying interior design at the Parsons School of Design in New York. In his final year at Parsons School, he changed his focus and turned his attention to fashion design. While hiring for his first serious job at the Parsons design school, he concealed that he had an architect's education in the previous place, although he worked in the fashion industry (at the Chloe fashion house), but was only engaged in public relations.

As a freelance designer on Seventh Avenue, Ford first worked for Cathy Hardwick and then in 1988 for Perry Ellis (a short-lived Marc Jacobs business) jeans department.

In 1990, in the company's worst fiscal year, Ford was named women's fashion designer at Gucci. Due to strategic and creative miscalculations, as well as family feuds, the Gucci company during this period was losing 340 billion lire a year. In 1992, Ford was named director of design, and in 1994, creative director of Gucci. In the first six months of 1995, Gucci's revenues increased 87 percent. This period is marked by the emergence of the classic Gucci loafer in rainbow hues (1991, classic loafers with rainbow hues) and the success of the Gucci platform snaffle clog (1992, platform clogs with a snaffle decoration).

His pioneering vision of the fashion industry has received acclaim from both the general public and his colleagues. In 1996, the Council of Fashion Designers of America named Tom Ford Designer of the Year.

In 1997, People magazine named Tom Ford as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.

In 2008 he made his directorial debut with the film A Single Man. At the 2009 Venice Film Festival, the film was nominated for the Golden Lion prize. Lead actor Colin Firth received the Best Actor award.

In 2016, Nocturnal Animals was released. For this work, Tom Ford received the Jury Grand Prix at the 2016 Venice Film Festival.
