Personal style: “I believe in consuming less and buying higher quality. I prefer a timeless style. The coolest icons have had that sensibility.” His picks:

-
“I work for AG, so people think I own a hundred pairs of jeans, but I have less than five. I like to wear the heck out of them.” $235 at AG, Beverly Hills, 310-275-2621
-
“I love my Contax G2 film camera. It’s a fraction of the cost of a Leica but with all the quality, if not more. Just ask Juergen Teller.” Similar styles on ebay.com
-
“Birkenstocks aren’t just for hippies. They can be a very chic summer sandal that dresses up your look better than a pair of flip-flops.” $120 at REI, Santa Monica, 310-458-4370
