Richard Buckley & Tom Ford

Richard Buckley, the mastermind behind Tom Ford’s meteoric rise in the fashion industry, was not only a trendsetter and an exceptional wordsmith—he was also one half of a remarkable love story that revolutionized modern ideas of partnership.

They met in 1986, and their wedding in 2014, after 28 years of dating, became a momentous occasion filled with joy and love that resonated far beyond the boundaries of the fashion world. With great excitement, they welcomed their child, Jack, who was born in 2012 through surrogacy. Since then, they have supported and promoted LGBTQ+ rights utilizing their platform, putting forth endless effort to create a society that values acceptance and equality.
