Q: Please describe your style in three words.
Personal. Character. Sharp.
Q: What is the biggest mistake one can make when getting dressed?
Trying to create a look that isn’t authentic.
Q: Do you believe in role models?
Yes, I think at one point in our lives we are influenced by others, and that can further drive our own ambition and success.
Q: What are your favourite fabrics?
Wool, linen, cotton, and silk.
Q: Are there any style combinations that you object to?
Skinny jeans with big sneakers — way too 80′s for my liking. I hated the 80′s.
Q: Which city has the best-dressed men?
‘Suited-and-booted’ in London.
Q: Would you say that you are conservative or bold?
Definitely more conservative.

No rules, just mood.

Many over the years… too many to just list one person.
Q: How do you select your clothing every morning?
By looking at my calendar, then out the window.
Q: The three essential things a man should know about style are…
Know the essentials — watch, jacket, bag, shoes, socks, ties, jeans, and how to mix.
Q: Do you have any shopping rituals?
None. All reactionary.
Q: We will never see you wearing…
A bow tie.
Q: What is the first thing you notice on a man?
His shoes.
Q: The one image that defined your approach to style…
Nothing in particular, just random images and characters from the streets.
Q: Which new designers do you follow/admire and why?
I am liking smaller designers at the moment like Mister Mister and 18 Waits.
Q: The only article of clothing that a man needs to pay close attention to is…
His suit and the tailoring of his shirt.

My Jeffery West shoes.
Q: Is comfort an enemy of style?
Perhaps with shoes for the first few weeks.

Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.
