MR PORTER, the award-winning global retail destination for men’s style, is partnering with TOM FORD for the launch of TOM FORD Men’s ready-to-wear online. To date, TOM FORD has selectively distributed his sought-after ready-to-wear collections across 110 TOM FORD boutiques and in brick-and-mortar partner department stores around the world. The brand currently operates its own ecommerce destination, TOMFORD.COM, selling men’s & women’s accessories, eyewear and beauty, shipping to the US. The inaugural first-ever global online availability of TOM FORD’s ready-to-wear collections will take place this September on MR PORTER and follows the TOM FORD womenswear launch on NET-A-PORTER.COM in July.
MR PORTER will be offering an edited range of TOM FORD’s elevated and sophisticated FW15 ready-to-wear including tailoring, formalwear, luxury casualwear, shoes, eyewear, accessories and grooming collections. Highlights from ready-to-wear include a cognac single-breasted shearling jacket and black satin shawl-collar tuxedo jacket. Accessories cover Tom Ford’s signature eyewear, luggage, document holders, wallets and jewellery. The MR PORTER selection covers over 100 pieces.
“We are pleased to be able to bring TOM FORD to our global and mobile customer base at MRPORTER.COM,” says Toby Bateman, Sales & Buying Director, MR PORTER. “TOM FORD is one of the most recognizable and coveted brands in the fashion industry and Mr Ford himself one of the most stylish, creative and high profile designers of our time. His designs are made with the modern, stylish, confident man in mind, the very individuals that we celebrate and cater to. We and Tom Ford pride ourselves on innovation, quality, luxury and customer service above all else. We cannot wait to put Mr Ford’s amazing product into the hands of our customers globally.”
“I couldn’t be happier to sell the TOM FORD womenswear, menswear, accessories, TOM FORD BEAUTY and TOM FORD EYEWEAR collections on NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER to expand our ever-increasing sales network. I have the utmost respect for Natalie Massenet and both NET-A-PORTER.COM and MR PORTER.COM and am happy that they will be the first on-line retailers to sell TOM FORD ready-to-wear,” said Tom Ford.
