He may be at the forefront of the fashion scene but Tom Ford is a little behind the times when it comes to technology, having just launched his first e-commerce website. Tomford.com will now carry the label’s current season accessories for men and women as well as a selection of their popular fragrance and beauty lines.

While initially sceptical about the digital effect on the fashion world, the 52-year-old designer is now confident of his new new online venture remarking that the decision was a step in the right direction for the popular brand, whose celebrity fan base includes Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake. He said: “I have waited patiently to introduce e-commerce until I felt the foundation of the brand was well established offline, we now have 98 retail locations worldwide and the online store is an extension of them: it is a beautiful online space that carries exceptionally crafted, hand made products and offers superlative service.”
