I AM a design manager.
I AM WEARING a jacket from Ermenegildo Zegna, a shirt from Paul Smith and Dr Denim jeans. My shoes are Converse and my sunnies are from Alpha60.
MY STYLE IS an economic transvestite: looks expensive but is dirt cheap.
I ADMIRE THE STYLE OF Bryan Ferry. He had a band in the '70s called Roxy Music and he was always cut very well and has an infinite number of suits.
MY FAVOURITE LABELS are whatever is going cheap and fits. I like Ermenegildo Zegna because it fits my body well. It's obviously made for skinny men.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO SHOP IS I can't say it otherwise everyone will go there … St Vincent's in Bondi in Sydney. Everyone in Bondi is incredibly wealthy and they all throw away their designer clothes and no one from there shops in op shops.
MY BIGGEST FASHION MISTAKE WAS yellow jeans. I sometimes still wear them but I'm working through it.
WHEN I WAS A KID I had a stripy jumper that I wore from ages five to 13. I loved the stripes, which were marine blue and cream.
I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD IN a sweatband.
