Tom Ford is an American fashion designer who is known for turning around the fortunes of Gucci.  After Gucci acquired Yves St. Laurent, he used his expansive knowledge and abilities to greatly expand that line, also.  Now on his own, he has released a line of his Tom Ford eyewear.

 

Tom Ford Eyeglasses are exclusively designed by the man himself, and are manufactured using ground-breaking designs, classic detailing and graceful styles.

Because of Tom Ford's long standing reputation as one of the best designers working today, he has found great support among today's movie stars.  Stars seen wearing Tom Ford Sunglasses include Madonna, Britney Spears and Johnny Depp.  He has even named many of his sunglasses models after his favorite stars like his Whitney and Farrah models, named after Whitney Houston and Farrah Fawcett, respectively.

Marcolin is the licensed manufacturer of Tom Ford Eyeglasses.

Marcolin sells its products in more than 50,000 outlets in 80 countries.  Founded in 1961, Marcolin is still controlled by the Marcolin family, but brothers Andrea and Diego Della Valle now own more than 40% of it.

Marcolin makes designer eyewear under its own Marcolin brands and through licensed brands such as Kenneth Cole (U.S. market only), Miss Sixty, Roberto Cavalli, and Timberland.  Its Cébé subsidiary in France produces eyewear for athletes.
