Mr Williams's Recommendations

FAVOURITE RESTAURANT AND DISH

“Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in the Design District of Miami. Just ask for my salad.”

FAVOURITE HOTEL

“Four Seasons - I always sleep comfortably.”

TYPE OF BAG

“I have a Hermès Haute à Courroies because I can carry it on any flight and it has just enough room for all my stuff.”

FAVOURED BRAND

“Billionaire Boys Club.”

ESSENTIAL WARDROBE ITEM

“Spongebob toe socks. They are the most comfortable and a playful accessory. I first discovered toe socks in Japan and have never looked back.”

STYLE ICON

“It might sound cliché but Steve McQueen is my pick. He represents classic Americana and he dressed true to the moment and his intentions.”

STYLE TIP

“Always be comfortable. You can always spot people who aren't sure about what they are wearing or wearing clothes that do not fit – and that's a recipe for disaster.”

TAILOR

“My first choice is Ralph Lauren.”

BEST SHIRT BRAND

“I really enjoy Turnbull & Asser , we actually did a collaboration with Billionaire Boys Club last year which turned out amazing.”

FAVOURITE SUIT

“ Ralph Lauren Purple Label .”

SHOE MAKER

“That's tough, it depends on what I need to do. Casually I usually wear Nike, I find that their technology is always on point and always comfortable. When I get dressed I tend to wear Louis Vuitton shoes.”

WATCH BRAND

“I've been wearing Audemars Piguet for over ten years now. I first got hooked on their skeleton Royal Oak and for the last few years have enjoyed their Concepts line.”
