I only wear plain white T-shirts every day. Can’t beat the look and it makes the decision of what to wear easy. I’ve done this for the past 15 years.

I’m very active; I run five to six days a week and this thing keeps me smelling fresh.

I’m in the sun a lot. I like to work outside as well. I love all things Wood Wood, especially this cap.

Running in the morning is one of the most important things to me. It starts off my day in the best way and sets me up for a productive, creative day. Running is my morning cup of coffee.

It occurred to me the other day that if I want strangers to stop talking to me about the clothes I’m wearing, I should develop less interesting taste. But as I refuse, my ideal form of self-expression is the ferocious anonymity of a Rick Owens balaclava, one that says “look at me” and “don’t look at me,” all at once. Paired with an earthy-toned, fleece-trimmed masterpiece of a statement jacket by Eckhaus Latta, I might just fully blend in to the natural world I long for, even if it’s only when laid flat on the forest floor or within the harbor of a topiary bush. And at home all I need is a decorative bowl with holes. Just a little something to make me think.

I’m all for practicality. There are so many reusable bottles out there on the market now but this one actually has a self-cleaning function!

I love silver jewelry and I feel like a staple pair of small hoops is an essential.

In an ideal world I’m the type of person who puts effort into dressing up, but in reality I enjoy comfort and ease too much. I love simple garments with a twist or a cool detail that just makes the outfit.

Texture is everything and Bottega’s doing leather really well lately; for a while now, really. This lambskin gilet jumps out. It looks to me like Helmut Lang’s bulletproof vest from ’97 but cut short, for a fisherman, and then pared back. Super loud, simply detailed, perfect, and will be remembered.

I’ve been waiting a while and it’s finally happened: Athletic gear has reached its postmodern age. This pair is what happens when wicking materials get the tailoring, color, and details they deserve. The doors are about to break open.

Sweaters are tough to buy vintage—cardigans especially. And it’s just as hard to find new, traditional knitwear that isn’t too over the line. This cardigan is stunning and jumps out at first sight, sure, but really, it’s a staple turned on its ear. Pretty traditional, with only one wild variable.

Another impossible-to-source vintage item—OG nylon flight pants—perfectly executed as actual clothing, and improved upon. The polyamide looks almost ornate this new. Probably the toughest-looking Engineered Garments piece ever made.

The perfect derby shoe is hard to come by. For me it needs to be the combination of the leather and design. The Marsèll Gommello Derby meets both. A more casual design and a buffed leather finish makes for a perfect daily wear shoe.

I remember first seeing this ring on a friend a few years ago and fell in love instantly. A simple, classic design as you are used to seeing from Jil Sander. This ring can be purchased in a thin and bulky design.

Winter is coming, and honestly, nothing screams holiday gift more than a sweater. It is damn near essential and can be used immediately upon opening. I’m very into simple designs with a hint of texture. The matching red loose thread detailing at the hem and cuff bring just the amount of play needed to keep this piece interesting, in classic Comme style.

I love BAPE and I love toys!

It's an insane jacket; I really really want it!

Such a good pink and the butterflies are so pretty.

I love knit stripes, knit dresses, little bows. I love this designer, the colorways are so cute, ‘70s Italian. Something kiddie about them. Danny Torrance comes to mind.

I love Shelley Duvall’s costume in The Shining, the robe-as-coat, over top of a turtleneck/dress and boots. I want it to look like I live in a cabin and I’ve flung my robe on to investigate some noise outside in the snow. I love the feminine pink plush texture of this coat, like a stuffed animal.

Boots that look like ponies, chariots to take me away. There is something perverted about wearing pure white shearling boots with bows in winter—I can picture mine with sludge stains. The nicest thing is to have someone, a lover, put these on your feet for you, and then remove them at the end of the day.

It’s no secret that I entered my shirt and tie era this summer. I was going for a St. Trinian’s as directed by Michel Gondry kind of look—scruffy, scholarly. Now with summer dead, it’s time my shirt and tie era enter a new phase: emo businessman.

OK yes, I admit it: I already have this bag in a different size and colorway. But just IMAGINE I had both. I’d wear two at once—twin satchels slung round my side like I’m a medieval pilgrim but also somehow from the future. One bag carries my phone and wallet, the other carries an ancient scroll and some bread crumbs to feed the pigeons.

As a child of Glasgow, I understand the power of a kilt. As a child of November, I understand the power of knitwear. A name like “Warrior Knit” makes me feel like a fashion Viking—there is no battle nobler than the fight to layer skirts over cargo trousers.
