About the Item

A stunning and very rare one-of-a kind Runway 1999 Gucci jacket with matching Gucci denim skirt. Nice details are the leather fasteners and gold-plated buckles with logo. Never worn. Very wel preserved by a model. This collectors item set is from the 1999 collection and designed by Tom Ford. The dark denim with the classy leather with golden buckle at the hips and the golden buttons with Gucci logo is just an eyecatcher. Maria Carey was wearing it for Gucci. Tom Ford's tenure as the creative director of Gucci in the late 1990s was marked by his bold and provocative designs, and his 1999 collections were no exception. One iconic piece from that era is the Gucci denim jacket, which became a symbol of the brand's reinvention under Ford's leadership. The Gucci denim jacket designed by Tom Ford in 1999 is known for its luxurious take on casual, everyday wear. It featured several distinctive elements that were characteristic of Ford's designs during his time at Gucci. These Gucci denim jackets became highly sought-after fashion items, and they remain collector's pieces to this day. They captured the spirit of the late 1990s and early 2000s, where luxury fashion embraced streetwear and edgier styles. Tom Ford's creative direction at Gucci during this time is widely regarded as a turning point in the brand's history, and his designs are still celebrated for their bold, innovative, and provocative nature.

Tom Ford for Gucci

No one understands sex appeal quite like Tom Ford, who joined Gucci as a womens-wear designer in 1990.

At the time, the internationally renowned Italian label was better known for leather goods than luxury fashion. It was also nearly bankrupt. After creative director Dawn Mello left in 1994, following a Bahrain-based investment group becoming Gucci’s majority shareholder, Ford was named creative director. The American designer soon infused the brand with a fresh sensuality and bold style.

Ford's potent vision of sexed-up femininity spanned everything from shirts to shoes to handbags and other accessories at Gucci — he reimagined the house's iconic double-ring-and-bar Horsebit hardware, a reference to the brand’s equestrian history, as a seductive low-slung belt, worn by Madonna when accepting an MTV video music award in 1995. For his fall show during that year, in which Kate Moss walked down the runway in an unbuttoned satin shirt, velvet hip-huggers and tousled hair, heralded an exciting, glammed-up era for the once fusty brand. Vogue critic Sarah Mower called it “one of those hitting-in-the-solar-plexus moments.”

As Ford shot to fame, he continued to explore plunging necklines, such as in the black and white looks of the Fall 1996 collection, and sumptuous fabrics like leather and tweed, with the Fall 2000 ready-to-wear collection ranging from sultry silk evening dresses to plush belted coats.

Ford also cranked up the seduction in the provocative ads for Gucci, particularly with regard to campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, which the fashion house acquired in 1999 (Ford was also named creative director for YSL and designed the brand’s ready-to-wear collection). Gucci's Fall/Winter 1997 campaign featured Carolyn Murphy grasping Angela Lindvall in what looked like a video still; in another shot, a face pressed against a foot in a lipstick-red heel. Each promoted a vision of modern fashion where women were sexually confident, the materials were luxurious and the styles were fearless.

In 2004, Ford and Gucci president Domenico De Sole left the company after failing to agree on the renewal of their contracts. In 2006, with De Sole as chairman, Ford launched his wildly successful eponymous menswear label. Today Ford is also an author, film director and chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
