I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast.

A classic, navy blue blazer is my staple. It's a look that can take you from office meetings to dinner out with friends or family.

Trying too hard to follow every trend. You want to look fashionable and put-together, not like you hit every sale rack this season.

I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.

I looked at the rap community like street kids wanting their own brand. But now I look at that period with the rappers in the 90s as a trend of the moment. What it taught me was never to follow a trend, because trends move on.

My rule of thumb is to strike a balance by sticking to the classics and playing with color, texture, and print to give them a modern update. On any given day, I keep it simple with jeans or chinos and a comfortable dress shirt.

Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.
