A rare and unmistakably Tom Ford creation for Gucci’s celebrated Fall/Winter 2000 collection. This shimmering gold lurex dress debuted on the runway as Look 27 and perfectly captures the seductive glamour that defined Ford’s tenure at Gucci.
Crafted from a semi-sheer metallic knit, the dress features a dramatic plunging V-neckline, long sleeves, and a softly draped silhouette that skims the body. The gathered center front is anchored by the signature Gucci Dionysus tiger ornament, creating a striking focal point while accentuating the waist. The luminous gold fabrication catches the light from every angle, embodying the opulent eveningwear that became synonymous with Tom Ford’s Gucci collections.
As Vogue noted of the collection, “For evening, he turned the volume way up with an assortment of dazzling gold coats, slinky dresses, and beaded gowns with plunging necklines.” The collection showcased Ford’s mastery of shape, proportion, and material, resulting in pieces that remain as modern and alluring today as when they first appeared on the runway.
An exceptional collector’s piece from one of fashion’s most influential eras.
