HISTORY
Fall/Winter 2003 under creative director Tom Ford marked one of the final collections of his tenure at Gucci, defined by sharply tailored silhouettes and a continued exploration of sensual structure. The season emphasized precise construction and body-conscious forms, often incorporating corsetry and paneling to contour the figure. This dress reflects Ford’s approach through its sculpted bodice and elongated midi line.
