BEST BAR
“The bar at the The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City. The best martinis and the best décor. I love the fact that the movement of the metal blinds is, in fact, a glorious mistake.”
VACATION CHOICE
“Puglia, because I have a house there.”
TOP CITY
“Montreal – because I admire its spirit.”
FAVOURITE HOTEL
“Claridge's in London, because it is simply wonderful and I would happily live there.”
TYPE OF BAG
“I am currently carrying a distressed leather case by John Varvatos.”
TAILOR
“My tailor is Thom Sweeney and I have alterations done by either wonder-tailor Angelo Drigo or through the wonderful Liz at Jeeves of Belgravia.”
BEST SHIRT BRAND
“I prefer to have shirts made-to-measure because I think I must have stumpy arms. One of the best shirtmakers is Sean O’Flynn.”
FAVOURITE SUIT
“Canali.”
CUT OF TROUSERS
“Grey flannels by Thom Sweeney.”
JEANS BRAND
“Nudie, Big Bengt.”
UNDERWEAR CHOICE
“Colourful American Apparel briefs – but that may soon have to change. Suggestions please.”
SHOE MAKER
“Too many to choose, but it is hard to beat a Berluti Andy loafer.”
FAVOURITE GROOMING PRODUCT
“Korres Borage Cream – the best moisturizer ever.”
DREAM CAR
“Aston Martin Virage Coupe.”
WATCH BRAND
“Rolex, IWC, Zenith, Jaeger LeCoultre, Cartier, Tag Heuer, Dunhill. I’m a bit of a fanatic.”
