Tom Ford, siding with sustainability, launched its Ocean Plastic Sport watch. As the name makes it clear, the watch is completely made with recycled ocean plastic.
The American brand launched its timepieces on January 18. This is the first automatic sports watch that is designed out of recycled plastic.
The brand first released the exceptional Ocean Plastic range in late 2020. Since then, several colors and styles have been introduced, considering its demand.
What is Tom Ford's net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth reported that the American fashion designer and film director, Tom Ford, has a net worth of $500 million. He earned this not only by his eponymous brand but also by operating as the creative director for Gucci and YSL.
Thomas Carlyle Ford, more popularly known as Tom Ford, was born on August 27, 1961 in Austin, Texas. Both his parents, Shirley Burton and Thomas David Ford, worked as estate agents. After working as an actor for some time, Tom completed his graduation in architecture, and it was only during his graduation years he discovered his passion for fashion.
His enthusiasm and consistency for fashion paid off. Tom started by working with American designer Cathy Hardwick, and from there, he switched to the brand, Perry Ellis. After this, the Golden Gate opened for Tom, which landed him in Milan as the chief women's ready-to-wear designer for Gucci. This was his most significant break.
Progressively from womenswear, he also began to design menswear and shoes. Besides being the Design Director for Gucci, he also became the Creative Director for YSL, after the former acquired the latter in 1999.
In 2006, the designer finally launched his brand “Tom Ford”, after parting from Gucci in 2004. Since then Tom has been climbing up the ladder of success. The brand now offers a wide range of products, including clothing, fragrances, cosmetics, footwear, and much more.
The founder owns a splendid collection of real estate. In 2019, Tom and Richard spent $18 million to purchase a four-story New York City townhouse.
Tom also owns a $40 million Holmby Hills mansion in Los Angeles. Furthermore, he also owns a 20,000+ acre ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
