Tom Ford, arguably the most powerful man in fashion, originated from Gucci. He was responsible for turning Gucci into the fresh mainstream brand it is today and transformed their profits from millions to billions. The talented Tom Ford was irreplaceable in the Gucci Fashion House; however he had several disputes with the shareholders which ultimately lead to his resignation. It was a daring decision but one with no regret as Tom Ford is now a well established designer fashion brand that has gone from strength to strength.
