Tom Ford has collaborated with Justin Timberlake to "create the refined style" reflected in the former 'N Sync member's new album, The 20/20 Experience.

"I adore Justin. He has innate style and enormous talent," said Ford.

"It has been such a pleasure and honour to work with him throughout this entire creative process."

The artwork for Timberlake's first single from the new record, Suit & Tie Featuring Jay-Z , features a Tom Ford tuxedo with satin peak lapels, pique front shirt and oversized satin bowtie.

Meanwhile, in the newly released "lyric video" (nope, we're not entirely sure what that means either) Trousersnake dons a veritable haul of Ford goodies; a black three-piece peak lapel suit, a black peak lapel two-piece tuxedo, black leather loafers, a gold tie bar, black onyx and white gold cufflinks and black and white leather loafers.

Ford has worked closely with Justin to tailor-make every item he wears, and the designs are set to become a "focal point" of the The 20/20 Experience, which is the singer's first album for seven years.

It's not the first time the unlikely pair has worked together. Ford outfitted Timberlake - as well as the father of the bride, father of the groom, three groomsmen, the pageboy and the master of ceremonies - at the singer's October 2012 nuptials to actress Jessica Biel. - © The Daily Telegraph
