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 gratuitous 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 2000 collection featured a blend of sharp tailoring, and tightly fitted motorcycle sets. The entire collection was rich with the sex appeal he had become famous for, and these trousers are a sterling example of the biker-centric pieces. They feature contrasting orange and dark brown panelling, a ribbing repeatedly used throughout the season, and adjustable velcro fastenings and zippers at the hem.
