Gucci Forgets Ford In Book

The IHT reports that Gucci have omitted any mention of Tom Ford in a special book produced to celebrate 85 years of Gucci:

One charismatic face is missing from Gucci’s glamorous archive pictures of Jackie O with a bag and trademark shades, Princess Di as child bride and sassy young woman, Britt Ekland trading double G logos with Peter Sellers, and Madonna in various hug-me-tight leather jackets.

Tom Ford, architect of Gucci’s revival as a jet set brand, before he left the company two years ago, does not appear in “Gucci by Gucci” (Mondadori) – the magnificent leather-encased tome of glamorama photographs brought out to celebrate 85 star-studded years.
