When you aren’t working, traveling, being a father and partner, what do you do or where do you go to recharge?
I like to get up before everyone is awake and have about two hours where I am just alone. I make a pot of coffee that’s stronger than anybody will enjoy except for me. I meditate for about 30 minutes. Then I just relax, wake up (a little bit more), spend some time on my computer because my office in New York is up and moving. But it’s that quiet time when the house smells a certain way that is so lovely. That time is deeply important to me.
What influences or inspires your personal style?
I have my favorite designers, but for me, it’s always about nature and the experience of travel — particularly seeing the way people live because I’m always fascinated with it. One of the chicest homes I’ve ever been in was this mud hut in Peru. I’ll never forget it because you walked in and it wasn’t fancy by any means, but they lived so beautifully. They had this one piece of cloth tacked up on their wall, which was just a remnant piece of fabric, but the way they did it was so pretty because it was beautiful to them. I remember thinking, ‘That’s what beauty is.’ It’s the confidence to showcase not only your style, but who you are in a way that really resonates.
