Favourite trends from (New York) SS 2016… Minimalism. I loved the simplicity and romanticism of Calvin Klein.

Others following this trend were Narcisco Rodriguez and Hugo Boss, with that beautiful tailoring and those clean lines.

What needs to go away… The excess of “streetwear”. I would love to see people dressing more tastefully and elegantly.

Personal style… This is always a hard question for me as I am not a big follower of trends. I like timeless fashion — pieces you will keep in your closet forever.

A peek in your travel bag for Jamaica would reveal… A crisp white shirt from Carven.

I recently previewed my first men’s ready-to-wear collection, so I am obsessed with the tailored shorts and pants from the collection.

Plus, a pair of leather Greek sandals that are perfect for the beach.

Three travel essentials for CAL…

Chanel flats for comfort.

Obagi skincare products and sunscreen.

Crest two-step toothpaste – I believe great skin and a smile are the best accessories. Everything else is a bonus.

Personal style… Parisian chic with a New York attitude.

I tend to wear mostly black, white and/or grey. I have really grown into my personal style and just love to be comfortable.

Most memorable purchase… a Rolex timepiece.

A great watch and good shoes are essential and, for me personally, says something about a man.

Now I collect vintage timepieces from auctions or estate sales.
