What do you think about the current state of menswear? I really think it’s a melting pot of extremes. It’s very exciting and it’s a little confusing at the same time, a little messy, but I definitely think a lot of men are starting to have way more of a voice. We’ve obviously got a huge sportswear influence going on at the same time as a resurgence of more tailoring. The modern man is much more confident and cool and aesthetically aware of himself. I think it’s exciting… anything goes right now. What is one item every man should have in his wardrobe? A perfectly tailored suit. Where do you turn when you need to be inspired? I take shopping inspiration trips to Paris, Milan or Tokyo. What designer do you most admire? I really admire Rei Kawakubo’s pattern cutting and Dries Van Noten’s use of print and embroidery. What era do you think men dressed the best in? The Edwardian era. What era do you think men dressed the worst in? The ’70s. Who, living or dead, would you most like to dress? Daft Punk. What’s the next big trend in menswear? Wide leg pants. It’s got a historical element to it, but it can look modern and quite chic, like a pleated pant with a cuff. Or the carrot fit, which is looser in the thigh with pleats but the lower calf is still a bit more tailored. Lightning Round! Pick one: Single or double-breasted jacket?
