Since its establishment in 1885, British shirtmaker
Turnbull & Asser has become known worldwide—
the patronage of Prince Charles and many a
James Bond incarnation hasn’t hurt in that
regard. Under co-owner James Fayed, the appeal
has only broadened. Alongside his father and two
brothers, he’s made T&A as relevant to a younger
audience that craves tie-dye or silk shirts as to
those who stock up on bespoke business shirts by
the dozen. Even though he’s the face of a renowned
luxury brand, Fayed is not much for formality—
his business cards are without a proper title, his
wardrobe a distinct blend of vintage finds. Even
his New York office bucks tradition, adorned with
taxidermy, neon and the many irreverent photos
he’s snapped throughout his travels. From his
gallery at the top of the Turnbull Townhouse in
New York, the raconteur shares with us his many
passions, from fishing and motorcycles to all
things analog.BY HELENA MADDEN PHOTOGRAPHY BY PETER ROSS
