Gucci x Tom Ford 1996 Velvet Tuxedo Blazer

Tom Ford’s tenure at Gucci defined an era of sensual sophistication, and this tuxedo blazer from the Fall/Winter 1996 collection is a rare piece of fashion history. Impeccably tailored in Italy from plush black velvet, it features sharp satin peak lapels that accentuate its structured silhouette. The single-button closure and subtly nipped-in waist create an effortlessly flattering shape, while the smooth silk lining ensures a flawless drape. Style it with sleek trousers and minimal heels for an elegant evening look, or layer it over a slip dress to channel Ford’s signature allure.
