00’s Gucci by Tom Ford Packable Lightweight Nylon Jacket

On the edge of bankruptcy, the Gucci label was desperate for progressive creative leadership. The year was 1994 and Gucci’s saviour had just left Yves Saint Laurent, embarking on a mission to revive the namesake and rebrand with a breath of new life. Tom Ford was appointed at the helm of Gucci and began to dissect the celebrated values the label was known for. He strayed from leather goods and traditional chic, instead reaching for experiment and modern physique. Void of any creative restraint, Ford ran free, using Gucci’s capabilities to dabble in highly skillful designs and unseen textiles. Tom Ford sold sex and provoked his external audience, demanding onlookers attention with audacious campaigning. While unveiling a new definition of couture, the designer was praised for his fashion forward approach and inventive thinking. While saving the Gucci maison from impending failure, Ford is remembered as a paramount in the fashion industry.

 

Debuting in the early years of the 2000 era, this jacket exemplifies Tom Ford’s brilliant approach to nuance. Subtly detailing key aspects of the traditional windbreaker silhouette, the item garners an aura of prestige. Metallic detailing lines each axis, while the zippered collar is unlatched to reveal a concealed hood. Convenience is stored in the right arm’s sleeve pocket, additionally found in either hand warming compartment. Tagged and fitting as a size 48 or medium, in great condition throughout.
