A rare Gucci by Tom Ford silk blouse from the iconic Fall/Winter 1996–2000 era. Crafted in luxurious black silk, this sculptural top features a deep plunging neckline and signature twist-front construction that defines Tom Ford’s sensual tailoring at Gucci.
Designed to be worn beneath sharp suiting or styled on its own, this silhouette reflects the bold, minimalist glamour seen throughout Ford’s runway collections. While cotton versions exist on the resale market, silk examples are significantly rarer and were produced in more limited quantities.
An essential runway collector piece from one of Gucci’s most celebrated periods.
