Michael Bastian

I prefer simpler shirts, like a solid oxford or pinstripe, and with a solid cashmere crewneck or V-neck.

All it takes is for one person to say, 'Wow, that looks great on you' - and then they wear it for the next 10 years. That's the great thing about guys. They just need that little bit of encouragement.

Guys are leery about putting on something they don't think is them. They have a fixed idea of themselves.

Edie and Lew Wasserman were chic as hell.

People talk to me about celebrities all the time and which ones do I admire, and it's so hard because you can't tell who's doing it for themselves and who hired a stylist.

I love doing these little collaborations. We collaborate with Stubbs & Wooton on the shoes for Michael Bastian.
