So I'm fairly certain that I've had one (or two) male readers check my blog once in a blue moon. It wasn't easy thinking of who to interview about mens style, quirky and frivolous is often championed over classic tailoring with impeccable details.
Mohammed Al Turki is a film producer and has more air miles than the entire Virgin Atlantic cabin crew. Having studied with Mohammed I have long appreciated his simplistic approach with dressing. He chooses beautifully made pieces and old-Hollywood tailoring over the youthful tat which we are bombarded with on a daily basis. Here are a few of his style and jet-set tips.
How would you describe your style?
I’m perceived as classic. Which is fairly accurate, but every now and then I’ll try to start my own personal trend.
What are you must have items for long distance flights?
My Berlutti briefcase, a carry on bag it varies between my LV, Gucci or Prada bag. My Goyard toiletry kit. An Hermes Cashmere scarf. Eye drops, lip saver. My macbook and my Dr.Dre beats headphones.
What are your holy grail grooming products?
Acqua di Parma’s shampoo, shower gel, shaving cream and aftershave. As well I’m a huge fan of Espa products they have the best shave mud.
In the perfumes department no one can beat Tom Ford.
Who or what influences your style?
I’m comfortable in my style and I’m certainly no brand snob. I’ll wear whatever I think is cool, whether its from top fashion houses to humble bazaars, markets or tailor made.
