TOM FORD is heading to Asia later this year, when the label opens two new stores in the continent this summer. The brand has announced that it will open a 1,700-square-foot store in Hong Kong’s IFC mall next month, followed by a 2,000-square-foot boutique in the Shanghai Centre in July.

“We are committed to grow the company’s directly operated store network in Asia,” Tom Ford chairman Domenico De Sole told WWD.

Tom Ford already operates three standalone stores in Asia – in Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul – and sells wholesale via Lane Crawford, its former distribution partner in the region.
