I have a few shoe rules: Never wear the same pair two days in a row; polish them after every wear; and always use a shoe tree to re-block the shoe, hold the shape and remove any moisture. Follow these rules and your shoes will last forever. I always look at shoes on men first. Beautiful shoes set the tone for an entire outfit—whether they’re worn with jeans or a suit. Like all of my clothes, I organize shoes by color. Shoes, Various Designers

These are the winter pants. The summer pants are in Palm Beach or in storage. Pants, Various Designers

I love camel: it's chic and goes with everything. In Italy and France, all the men wear camel shoes with jeans or suits. It’s also important to have gorgeous belts to match them with. Shoes, Various Designers

The key to an organized closet is to fold immediately; never leave things on a hook or it will get out of control. Sweaters, Various Designers

Blue is my favourite color and bathrooms are my favourite rooms—both in my own home and the spaces I design for. It’s the first room you go into and the last one before bed. Every bathroom should have a fireplace. These terry chairs are so practical and fun. Sweaters, Various Designers

Gary’s family owns optical stores—hence his love of vintage eyewear. Glasses, Vintage

I like to collect ties, but don’t wear them very often. I do love Hermès but, for me, it’s more about the fabric and the color than the brand. Ties, Various Designers

Belts, Vicomte Arthur

Watches are my jewellery—I wear Cartier the most. Watch, Cartier

Vest, Polo Ralph Lauren

I can’t have enough books. I have books everywhere throughout the house. The bathtub is my quiet reading area. I could never use a Kindle—I love the feel of a book in my hands. Jackets and Tie, Ralph Lauren; Shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo

This is an antique leather English boardroom table with an antique Chinoiserie screen behind it. The Pearl Litwin sculpture is one of my favourites of all time. An eclectic mix of furniture always gives a room personality. Ties, Various Designers

I love architectural models and this English antique staircase model is part of my collection. Hermès (along with Ferragamo) is my favourite leather company and they excel at discreet and beautiful craftsmanship. The Hermès 'H' belts are classic. Hammered gold, polished silver, brown or black enamel—I love them all. This photo reminded me that I need to send these out to be polished. Belts, Hermès

I love colored sweaters in the winter because the bleaker it gets, the more important it is to perk up with colour. You get a great reaction when you wear a pop of orange cashmere in February. All, Various Designers

This was a gift from a friend when I bought my home in Palm Beach. The glasses are part of my partner Gary’s antique eyewear collection. Glasses, Vintage

I like plaid pants and that old England feel, but I always mix them with a modern twist. Pants, Various Designers

This is a two-story library that I feel is the 'wow' room in the house. The antique 18th century desk was a gift from my parents when I bought my first house. It was in my father’s library when I was growing up, as was the silver boat model. The Greek vases are from the estate of Gianni Versace and were a gift from my friend Lou Strauss in memory of the time we spent in Gianni’s Florida home. It’s one of the most special gifts I’ve ever received. Glasses, Vintage

This is in the commercial kitchen we have in the house, which we use for functions. I personally have twenty pairs of glasses, and I change them up seasonally. I usually wear two or three per season.

The Gucci loafer is classic and timeless. It’s so perfect with jeans. The range hood is made of chalkboard to write recipes and notes. It also has a ledge to display books while cooking. I love open shelves in the kitchen. I don’t actually cook, but my partner Gary is the best cook. Shoes, Gucci

I love mantle clocks and have them throughout the house. The mantle is 18th century marble. Sweaters, Various Designers

This is as close as I get to a computer. I love the antique typewriter—it reminds me of where we’ve been and where we're going. Brown Watch, Vintage Cartier

The vanity in the bathroom is more like a furniture piece, and I used lamps instead of typical wall lights. The room relates to the rest of the house and it’s really an extension of the design perspective. The blazer is British Glen Check with a twist by Kiton. I wear this in Palm Beach. The belts are made in Paris and I buy them in Palm Beach. They have amazing colors; I have so many. Blazer, Kiton; Belts, Vicomte Arthur

This hallway didn’t exist in the house when we bought it. I wanted to create a beautiful sightline to the garden and make it feel as though there is like a courtyard in the middle of the house. The sweaters are Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli. Both are masters of sophisticated colour. One of my strengths as a designer is being sensitive to the nuances of color; similarly, I’m sensitive to colors in clothing. Sweaters, Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli

I wear this watch every day—it’s been on my wrist for eleven years. Watch, Cartier

I picked up this Mackintosh chair thirty years ago. It was designed in 1897 for a tea house in Vienna. I think it’s fun and ahead of its time; it’s an iconic piece. Tie, Tom Ford for Gucci

I tend to wear sweaters instead of blazers or put a blazer over my sweater. I love Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli. I've visited Brunello Cucinelli’s workshops in Tuscany and have such an appreciation for the work: everything is hand-knitted, hand-dyed and will last forever. It’s truly clothing that endures. Sweaters, Various Designers

All of my luggage is black Louis Vuitton and I believe this piece was custom. It’s indestructible—the bag is probably ten years old. Louis Vuitton carry-on luggage is to men what purses are for women. Shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo; Carry-on Bag, Custom Louis Vuitton

Jackets and Tie, Ralph Lauren; Shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo
