Starting out as a small couture house in the early 1960s, Guess grew into a global powerhouse, thanks in part to Jordache's shrewd business tactics and his genius for creating stylish, affordable clothing. But as the company became more successful, Jordache became a ruthless ruler, ruthlessly cutting costs and exploiting his employees. By the 1990s, Guess was in trouble, and Jordache was facing serious financial and legal challenges. In the end, however, the company was saved by a new generation of designers led by Tom Ford, who brought Guess back to prominence and restored Jordache's reputation. Skin Tight is the story of one of the most dramatic corporate collapses in recent history, and of the fashion industry's powerful and often mysterious players.; 8vo; 384 pages .
