Who’s your favourite fashion icon? The French gentleman racer Régis Guyot. He’s adventurous and stylish, which is unusual; he’s into motorbikes and surfing. I love those activities, too, but I’m not a blokey bloke – he makes those hobbies look stylish, not dude-y.
What’s your fragrance of choice? I’ve worn Louis Vuitton “Sur la Route” for the last five years. It’s expensive, but it’s a beautiful bottle, and you can have your name engraved on it, so I had my kids’ initials etched onto it. Sur la route, means “on the road”; it’s an adventurous scent.

Any go-to jewellery? I collect diving watches – I especially love Rolex “Submariners” from the 1980s and ’90s. Also, two metal cuff bracelets from P Johnson that I wear every day.
What was your first fashion moment? When I was 12, my dad brought me back a pair of maroon Nike “Air Jordan 6 Carmine” sneakers from the USA. I was obsessed with basketball and the ’90s was a golden era, as it was when Michael Jordan made the NBA big and they had the dream team. It was a unique time and those shoes were my everything. I played a lot of basketball and they got hammered, but they were beautiful.
And your worst fashion mistake? An earring in my upper left ear when I lived in France in 1996.
What’s at the top of your wish list? A ’90s Patek Philippe “Aquanaut” watch with an olive band.
Is there something you would never wear? I won’t wear flip-flops, Crocs or a backpack.
Is there a current trend you like? Vintage military jackets.
What shoes do you wear most often? R.M. Williams lace-up “Rickerby” boots in tobacco.

What do you sleep in? As little as I possibly can.
What do you wear on a typical working day? Uniqlo jeans and tee, R.M. Williams boots.
What’s your favourite off-duty, casual Sunday look? I’ll be wearing slim white Polo jeans, a blue T-shirt and New Balance “327” sneakers.
