Tom Ford will be celebrating his 49th birthday today. He was born
August 27, 1961 in Austin, Texas. His family moved quite a bit, then
when

he was a young teenager they settled in Santa Fe, where his grandmother
had a ranch. (I am mildly curious where the ranch is because my
parents also have a ranch in that area.) He left Santa Fe after high
school to graduate in architecture at Parsons. One of his early jobs
was a press office intern for Chloe, which cultivated an interest in
fashion design. He knew that if he was going to be a good designer, he
needed to go to leave America and to to Europe.
There is a story about him calling Cathy

Hardwick every day for a month in hopes of landing a job. Eventually,
she agreed to see him. Hardwick later recalled, “I had every intention
of giving him no hope. I asked him who his favorite European designers

were. He said, ‘Armani and Chanel.’ Months later I asked him why he
said that, and he said, ‘Because you were wearing something Armani’. Is
it any wonder he got the job?” Tom worked as a design assistant for
Hardwick for two years.
