Another renaissance man, his designs retain their popularity and aged elegance. In the early days he talked of England being important to him: "It was virtually the most important centre for inspiration," he says. "I remember seeing some yellow cardigans in a small boutique and everyone thought I was insane. Yellow cardigans were what the Duke of Windsor was about, they were not something for the average man. The entire idea of such clothing was so outré, so elitist... Very, very English."
