Your style in three words
Timeless, basic, casual.

The golden rule of suiting
Always buy navy and grey first.

A colour do and a colour don’t
DO: faded green. DON’T: neon.

Your favourite fashion era or genre
80’s-90’s / vintage American casual.

Your biggest style hero or inspiration
Vintage photos / vintage catalogues.

What the best dresser you’ve ever met taught you
No one in particular. I got inspiration on how to match colours from outfits in art and vintage ads. Not just clothing ads, but products too.

What goes through your head when you choose a look in the morning
First of all, check the weather. Second, build my outfit from bottom to top - shoes, trousers, top, jacket, hat.

Your all-time signature garment, if you had to pick
Well faded vintage Levi’s jeans.

What’s best: standing out or fitting in
Standing out for sure! 

Your biggest fashion flop
Wearing more than 3 military items in one outfit.
