During his tenure at Gucci, Tom Ford took a label with little to boast besides its monotonous leather and monogrammed work and remade it into his own gregarious sexual image. Carrying forth the glamour of the ‘80s in ways both more nuanced and lurid than his predecessors, Ford visibly shocked conservative fashion critics with his exposed G-strings in ‘97, and caused public outcry with his pubic hair focused marketing campaign in 2003.

Ford’s fall 1999 collection leaned heavily into the most ostentatious aspects of his work. It was predictably heavy on motorcycle-influenced jackets, pants, and boots, many of which were paired with extremely luxurious fur outerwear, and hand-embroidered floral denim and blazers. These boots were featured in the season’s campaign, and feature a fastening system comprised of heavy-duty plastic snap buckles, and velcro closure at the top.

Condition: 7/10. Scuffs and signs of wear throughout. The top strap on the left boot was re-glued.
