SWIMSUIT

Z Zegna falls under

the aegis of the

Ermenegildo Zegna

younger and edgier

than its eminently

respectable parent.

Fortunately, this

nylon swimsuit

offers the best of

both. $515, zegna.us

SANDALS

The men’s shoes by

Christian Louboutin

are just as desirable

as his women’s. This

patent leather, studs

and a vaguely tribal

• but very versatile


• motif. $1,095,

WEARING

JOHN

MALKOVICH

Actor and director John

Malkovich has been

interested in clothes and

fashion photography

since childhood. He

studied costuming at

college and, to this day,

does costume design for

the theater. He has

walked on the runways

of Comme des Garçons,

and was featured in ad

campaigns for Prada and

Giorgio Armani.

Malkovich launched an

eponymous line in the

early 2000s and his

brand Technobohemian

debuted in 2011. His

latest design effort is a

spring/summer

menswear collection,

complete with linen

trousers, band collar

shirts and silk scarves.

The collection has a

relaxed Euro feel, which

he describes as

“elegant, discreet, and

with interesting details”.

As Malkovich says: “It’s a

line for people who

appreciate fabric – I’m a

lifelong fabric collector

and I love interesting

fabric that’s a little bit

out of the mainstream.”
