It\u2019s said you can\u2019t buy style. So, when a member of the ultra-rich is a discernible tastemaker, we\u2019re always eager to see where they spend their fortunes.<\/p>\n

For newly-minted billionaire Tom Ford, the fashion designer put his money where his mouth is by picking up an abode in London\u2019s Chelsea borough for an eye-watering AUD $150 million\u2014the UK\u2019s most expensive home deal this year.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the 63-year-old reportedly purchased the property \u201cnestled in a neighbourhood famous for its stucco-fronted mansions\u201d earlier this year, according to \u201cpeople familiar with the matter who weren\u2019t authorised to discuss the transaction,\u201d as Business of Fashion<\/em><\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

With fellow savant Victoria Beckham<\/a> nearby in the ritzy Holland Park<\/a> and Harry Styles<\/a>, who wears Tom Ford Beauty\u2019s Tobacco Vanille fragrance, a stone\u2019s throw in Hampstead Heath, the street style capital of the area has increased tenfold. One can only imagine the fashions at their local neighbourhood watch meetings.<\/p>\n

This investment has been Ford\u2019s first big-ticket item since selling his company two years ago. As you may recall, the former Gucci creative director sold his eponymous label to Est\u00e9e Lauder Cos. at a valuation upwards of AUD $4 million. The beauty conglomerate has been manufacturing, marketing and selling Ford\u2019s self-titled cosmetics and fragrance line in a licensing arrangement since 2006, with BoF<\/em><\/a> also acknowledging that the sale became crucial for the giant as Tom Ford Beauty was one of its \u201cmost lucrative businesses\u201d.<\/p>\n

As for the fashion division, BoF<\/em> reported at the time of the sale that: \u201cErmenegildo Zegna Group has forged a long-term agreement with Est\u00e9e Lauder that will see it continue to make and sell the brand\u2019s menswear, plus women\u2019s fashion, accessories and underwear for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford remained the business\u2019 \u201ccreative visionary\u201d until the end of 2023. Peter Hawkings<\/a>, Ford\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and right-hand man who worked at the company since its inception in 2005, was initially appointed as his successor before stepping down in 2024 after less than a year at the helm and one season. Haider Ackermann<\/a> has picked up the mantle in his place.<\/p>\n

But for Ford, this \u2018revolving door\u2019, as fashion commentators have called the constant rotation of creative directors<\/a>, is nothing but chatter now that he\u2019s stepped back from the industry<\/a>. Perhaps he can invite Dries Van Noten over to his new pad and exchange stories\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42674,"featured_media":58008,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"\nTom Ford Buys The Most Expensive House In
