Thomas Carlyle Ford is an American fashion designer, film director, screenwriter, and film producer. He launched his eponymous luxury brand in 2006, having previously served as the Creative Director at luxury fashion houses Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent.

He turned the brand around, replacing the "grunge look" with "sexy, yet sophisticated, clothes".
