In 2005, after his dramatic departure from Gucci Group, Tom Ford announced the creation of TOM FORD brand. As president and CEO of TOM FORD, Ford announced the partnership with Marcolin Group, a global leader in the eyewear industry, to produce and distribute optical frames and sunglasses under the TOM FORD brand.  Today, TOM FORD is carried in department stores and specialty boutiques worldwide, and of course, at 80's Purple.
