I like having a tailor everywhere because I am everywhere.
realized styles
I went through different styles but realized Ray-Bans are the classics. You can't go wrong with them. I explore and cheat on them occasionally, but I always go back to the aviators.
carry love trips
I love my passport. I plan trips very last minute, so I always carry it with me.
butcher craft history means reason tailor
I think the reason for my fascination with craft is what it represents, what it means in our culture, what it means in our history and in humanity. It was the idea that you could go to your butcher to get something, you could go to your tailor to get this, and you could go to your cobbler to get that.
bit buy store trying
Someone gives jewelry, and there's a bit of romance. If you buy it from a store, the store is trying to romance you. Even when I'm making the jewelry, I have to be romanced.
diamonds future gold holds love work
I work with gold that holds history, diamonds that see the future, and rubies that long for love.
basic designers item version
I'm a traditionalist with suits. It doesn't need extra pockets, and I don't want headphone jacks in my jacket. I appreciate designers who do different things, but for me, the most basic version of that item is what I want.
door hold lady until wait
Hold the door for a lady. Wait until a lady is out of the elevator.
deeper men pink
I don't think men get enough flowers. A deeper pink or red peonies are my favorite. But I'll take anything, really.
I do things because I enjoy it. That used to be my downfall, but now it's the upside.

I always like a good song: puts me in a good mood.

People who know me know that there's a light-hearted side, humour... But you could easily say I am cheeky.
work
I take my work seriously, but I don't necessarily take myself seriously.
primarily york
I primarily live in New York City, a place that is about constants, not letting up and not stopping.
