Job? Fashion designer Best Sartorial advice from your parents? When I was twelve my mother took me to get my first custom made jacket and shoes – she gave me the essential basis of a perfect wardrobe Style Icons? Loulou de la Falaise, Frida Kahlo, the Gainsbourg-Birkin family. Describe your personal style It’s usually quite androgynous with super feminine touches. Personal Style quirk I always buy trousers (with creases) at least two sizes bigger than my size – in order to style them my own way. Favorite designers Forever and ever: Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent Most underrated item in menswear/womenswear? The hat; we should all wear a hat more often! Your next “must have” purchase? A vintage yellow gold Rolex chronograph Favorite Book? Alice in Wonderland
