Tom Ford was awarded with the menswear designer of the year prize of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s (CFDA). Tom Ford’s label, launched last year, is recently new to the market place. The designer’s brand focuses on an extreme luxurious, head-to-toe men’s wardrobing and the strategy is to place the deluxe brand collection in stores that offered not just world-class tailoring, but an experience where the service, packaging and sales environment are as exceptional as the product.
