Biography
Founder and CEO of Crane.tv, the premium online video magazine...which is not to be confused with Ukrainian television. www.crane.tvMr Bjerke's Recommendations
FAVOURITE RESTAURANT AND DISH
“Lobster Noodles at the Mandarin Kitchen in London and, of course, Trader Vic's in Munich.”
VACATION CHOICE
“I’m a born beach bum and scuba diver. So Mexico, the Cayman Islands…anywhere in the Caribbean is good in my books.”
TOP CITY
“Buenos Aires. A perfect mix of European heritage and Latin American culture. The city and its people have incredible (life)style and exude happiness and savoir-vivre.”
FAVOURITE HOTEL
“The Inle Princess Resort in Burma for successfully combining all the elements that make staying there unforgettable: The exoticism and authenticity of the place, the sheer romance of the setting, the perfection of service (which one only finds in Asia) and effortless luxury of every detail.”
TYPE OF BAG
“A Papworth briefcase my father gave to me many years ago. Its cognac-coloured calf leather and is getting better with every year that passes.”
FAVOURED BRAND
“ Alfred Dunhill . Tradition, quality and convincingly evolved design. British menswear at it’s best – timeless classics.”
ESSENTIAL WARDROBE ITEM
“My favourite blazer, a bespoke piece from Will Mingle in London.”
MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
“Anne Hathaway, Liv Tyler, Romy Schneider or Queen Rania of Jordan.”
STYLE ICON
“Oscar Wilde for his wit, intellect and declaring individualism his birthright. Steve McQueen for burning racing car tyres, wearing great watches and his pure machismo.”
STYLE TIP
“Don’t try to be who you’re not. Style should never be an effort, but a side effect of being confident and looking after oneself.”
BEST SHIRT BRAND
“Camiseria Dickens in Madrid makes the best shirts for me – best fabrics, the best fittings, the friendliest service.”
CUT OF TROUSERS
“I live in jeans.”
PREFERRED JACKET STYLE
“Blazer.”
SHOE MAKER
“Brogues. Or loafers from Carmina in Madrid.”
FAVOURITE GROOMING PRODUCT
“A daily lather of Clinique M lotion, supported by regular splashes of Acqua di Parma Colonia.”
DREAM CAR
“My Alfa Spider – black. Porsche 356 Speedster. Jaguar XK140.”
WATCH BRAND
“A Vintage Rolex.”
ESSENTIAL GADGET
“The full Apple cart for me, please.”
BEST BOOK
“The Alchemist by Paul Coehlo, everything by Oscar Wilde and history books.”
FAVOURITE ALBUM
“Anything by U2.”
