4me4you recently connected with @understitch, a journalist and video creator who has a real talent for uncovering the stories, people, and history behind some of fashion’s most influential brands.
4me4you are are excited to share @understitch’s latest work, exploring “Gucci: The Tom Ford Years.” .
Tom Ford’s impact on fashion speaks for itself. But his time at Gucci was something else entirely. Working alongside Domenico De Sole, Ford helped turn a struggling house that was close to financial collapse into one of the most desirable names in luxury.
