Why do you think you were chosen for Best Dressed? I guess it helps that I wear a suit most days, that I make sure my clothes fit properly, my shoes are polished and I have a great hairdresser.

What does the GQ brand mean to you? GQ is synonymous with style. I have read GQfor as long as I can remember - it’s the easiest source of information for men’s style.

What makes a man? Being present, self-aware and openminded, having perspective, taking action and not apologising unless you really mean it.

A GQ man cannot live without... Ambition. And the best pair of black shoes that he can afford.

The most expensive clothing item you’ve ever bought? At the end of my first year of work I spent more than a month’s salary on a suit, but I wore it three times a week until the seat of the pants tore. It turned out to be a great investment.

What do you think about the current state of menswear? It’s great that more guys are looking for bespoke clothes and developing, or supporting, localbusiness in the process. I also like that more international brands are coming to South Africa so we have more options and a better appreciation for the quality and individuality of our local brands.

Who makes the best suit? Daniel-Hugo Crouse of House of Crouse and Grant Van Den Berg of Frank Bespoke. One day, I will get a suit cut at Kilgour or Norton & Sons.
