FAVOURITE RESTAURANT AND DISH
“Rodeo Bar on 27th and 3rd in New York. It is not at all fashionable (although Steven Meisel did feature it in a shoot for Vogue Italia – my jaw dropped when I saw it) but the frozen margaritas are great and so is the food.”
VACATION CHOICE
“Italy – the food!”
TOP CITY
“Milan.”
TYPE OF BAG
“My Barbour jacket is big enough for my stuff.”
ESSENTIAL WARDROBE ITEM
“My Oliver Peoples glasses. They are the perfect synthesis of function and form.”
MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
“Garance Doré.”
STYLE ICON
“Fred Astaire for being able to wear a perfectly-tailored suit with athleticism and grace.”
STYLE TIP
“Know your lifestyle, know your body. Make choices based on the two.”
FAVOURITE SUIT
“I have a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit that I find particularly well-made.”
CUT OF TROUSERS
“Ralph Lauren.”
PREFERRED JACKET STYLE
“One-button, peak lapel.”
FAVOURITE GROOMING PRODUCT
“Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment. I will often shoot four to five hours a day, outdoors, and it really stands up to whatever conditions I’m in.”
WATCH BRAND
“Rolex Oyster.”
ESSENTIAL GADGET
“It’s a toss-up between my iPhone and my camera, but due to necessity my camera has a slight advantage.”
BEST BOOK
“The Alienist by Caleb Carr.”
FAVOURITE ALBUM
