Label Text:Tom Ford revived the Gucci label with his unapologetically sexy and often revealing designs. In this example, revealing clothing and a sense of freedom combine to create a confident, sexy look. Ford has used strategically-placed cut-outs, acid-green fabrics, and a dyed fur wrap to make a glamorous but traditional evening dress appear fresh and edgy.
