Tom Ford calls Santa Fe home. Specifically his ranch designed by Tadao Ando that was recently published in Paris Vogue. With sweeping landscapes, Ando's signature juxtaposition of light and dark is evident throughout. We found an interview snippet between Karl Lagerfield and Tom Ford about the said subject:

Karl Lagerfeld

And how is the [Tadao] Ando house coming along?

Tom Ford

He has designed several buildings for us, and we've started on one of them. We're still redesigning the main house. I like working with him.

Karl Lagerfeld

Oh, he is devine! I worked with him for many years and we always had so many problems with planning permission. You know in France you cannot build these kind of house. They said it looked like a church of a sect. At the end, I stopped it and introduced him to your friend Monsieur Pinault, and he got the museum. Where is he building your house?

Tom Ford

Outside of Sante Fe

Karl Lagerfeld

It will look great there.

Tom Ford

That's why I hired him, I think he is so much about walls and light. And the local architecture of New Mexico is of course adobe and fortress like, and the light is very strong there, so it's about light and massive walls.

Karl Lagerfeld

I think it's very creative to build houses.
