Instinct: it's like drawing or painting, if you have some material in front of you, you just put shapes and colors together and a sort of harmony comes out.

Coats pullovers and special evening dress
The first thing I look at in another Sartorialist’s outfit ...
If it fits with the figure and the face… if its original to gain a place on the Sartorialist or because it responds to a sort of authentic eccentricity.
I always break this fashion rule.
Elegant- elegant
Beautiful- beautiful
Clever- clever etc.

Never caught wearing?

Most underrated item in menswear/womenswear?
Gloves
Dress to impress who?
Myself: in the meaning that dressing for me is just a way to share the space with others, so sometimes I feel like giving a strong contribute to the picture, and sometimes I just need to be transparent, to pass through without making any noise. But it’s always referred to my mood in relation to the others.
Shine your own shoes?
Never
I skimp when buying ...
I do not know: I don’t have items, I have different periods: or I become mystic and don’t by anything or I buy everything I meet and I can afford.
I splurge on.....
Bags and jewels bijoux etc.
Guilty pleasure?
To buy two of what I like.
