Tom Ford is not one for doing things by halves. The menâs and womenswear collections he has produced at both YSL and Gucci â and latterly, of course, at his own brand â have long been universally celebrated; the first two films he wrote and directed were nominated for Academy Awards; and Fordâs signature fragrance lines are among the most sought-after on the market (try getting your hands on a bottle of Neroli Portofino between the months of June and August and youâll see what I mean).Â
Another case in point is Fordâs Research skincare line, which was first launched in the summer of 2018. Conceived as a serious contender in the burgeoning high-level beauty sector, the original range of face creams and serums promised to rejuvenate and energise and they lived up to their word.Â
