How would you describe your style?

Classic but remixed with a little edge. I’ll wear a nice shirt and blazer with Adidas shoes.

Favorite designers?

Neil Barrett—his clothes are cutting-edge but classic. I think Dolce & Gabbana makes the best suits. For jeans, I like Rock & Republic. And Jil Sander.

Do you have a fashion inspiration?

Steve McQueen in Bullitt. And I think George Clooney sets the bar—he always looks well dressed. I also appreciate the new generation of guys like Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke, who put their own spin on classic styles.

Is there a type of item you splurge on?

I tend to splurge on suits and sunglasses. You can always use the jacket of a nice tailored black suit for different occasions.

Any fashion disasters in your past?

My friends growing up laugh about my Z. Cavaricci parachute pants. I looked like MC Hammer, but it was 1990 and Hammer Time!

Favorite thing in your closet?

I have a black TSE cashmere sweater that I wear all the time. It never goes out of style.

Best fashion advice?

I was told to never ever wear my BlackBerry on my belt. It was stolen when I was in Milan, and I thought that since it’s a city that takes fashion seriously, maybe it was deliberate. I went to the police station, and the first question everyone asked was, “Why would you wear your BlackBerry on your belt?”
