Tom Ford initially gained international fame for his legendary turnaround of the Gucci fashion house - and then repeated this trick while at Yves Saint-Laurent by catapulting another archaic fashion house back into the mainstream. Ford's subsequent creation of his eponymous label has cemented his position as one of the world's leading fashion designers.

Tom instantly found a very special niche with his range of retro glamorous sunglass designs named after some of Hollywood's most iconic figures. His sunglasses proved an immediate hit with his already faithful following, and Tom Ford sunglasses now grace some of the most famous faces around.

Iris Optical introduced Tom Ford sunglasses in February 2008.
