Spring Summer 2002 Yves Saint Laurent by Tom Ford ‘Safari Collection’ Suede & Faux Fur Trim Biker Jacket.

(FOR SALE) A Spring Summer 2002 Yves Saint Laurent by Tom Ford ‘Safari Collection’ Suede & Faux Fur Trim Biker Jacket. 

Under Tom Ford's leadership in the 1990s, Gucci experienced a major transformation, becoming a leader in fashion with a more sensual and daring aesthetic. Tom Ford’s entire rebranding of Gucci was masterfully marketed, presenting Gucci to the public with more emphasis on the ‘GG’ interlock monogram, alongside a much sharper, intrepid style that appealed to a new generation of consumers. It was for this reason that Ford’s recruitment to Yves Saint Laurent in 1999 was a perfectly aligned match. Spanning five years where Ford would direct for both Gucci and YSL, Ford would walk away from both successfully at their peaks, starting his own label in the same year of 2004.

This jacket is truly an unbelievable find from Tom Ford’s short lived, yet widely appreciated time at Yves Saint Laurent. Ford helped re-engineer a youthful energy, sex appeal and vibrancy to a dying brand once again. This piece from Ford’s Spring Summer 2002 ‘Safari Collection’ combines the appeal of a suede jacket with fur accents, blending it with a modernized crop-biker jacket shape. Coming in a size 34, the jacket fits a true small or cropped medium, as shown on model @rheakathleenn, who stands at 5 '10. In amazing overall condition with miniscule wear, here is the opportunity to purchase a truly beautiful jacket from Tom Ford’s graceful touch at Yves Saint Laurent.
