Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What are you wearing right now?
Jeans, a shirt and a jacket. I often wearing jeans, they are the foundation to my wardrobe and I have lots.
Who's your style icon?
Without doubt, Ralph Lauren – he has the most amazing style, which will never go out of fashion.
What can't you live without?
Cologne, I can reapply a few times a day. A fresh scent is very important to me.
Describe the best outfit you've ever worn
Despite designing luxury streetwear, which I generally live in, I would have to say one of my suits. Could even be a Ralph Lauren. Every man must own a great-fitting suit.
What's in your wardrobe?
I like to wear leather biker-style jackets. I have loads, from tan to black, and they are so versatile. I like to wear them with a shirt and jeans. I own many T-shirts, which are a staple and a key piece in my designs.
What's in your manbag?
My Blackberry, some paper for sketches, my pen and some magazines.
If you could live in any decade style-wise, which would it be?
I love the present, and am having lots of fun, so I think I'd have to say this decade. Although I love the styles of many of the decades gone by, I think we bring them together and mix them up a bit. In this decade: anything goes. And that's something I find quite refreshing.
How often do you look in the mirror?
I'm not vain, so only when I brush my teeth.
Any guilty pleasures you want to share with us?
I love it when I see Madonna wearing my clothes.
What's your secret style tip?
Like you said, it's a SECRET.
