00s Gucci by Tom Ford ‘Panelled’ Blue Leather Biker 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 2000s era, this gorgeous royal blue leather biker jacket demonstrates Tom Ford’s unique expertise in menswear design. Leveraging a prominent cool hue as the focal point for the overcoat, grey and white paneling runs throughout, in pair with black accenting tones and hardware. Tailored in a slim cut, this piece is tagged as a size 46 or small, fitting oversized, in pristine condition throughout.
