Richard Buckley, married partner of fashion designer Tom Ford, dies

He closely collaborated with several glamor houses, and held writing positions in several companies. He met Tom Ford sometime in 1986 at a mutual friend’s fashion show. At the time, he was working as the editor-in-chief of “Vogue Hommes International”, the international edition of “Vogue” published in France. Ford was a newcomer to the industry at the time, working with designer Cathy Hardwick. The couple experienced love at first sight, and after a conversation in the elevator, the two began dating. After a month, they began living together and their relationship remained strong.
