Gentleman. A timeless fashion.

My first, most successful und best-known book. It was first published in Germany in spring 1999. The English edition was released later in the same year. 18 translations have followed. As the book focuses on classics hardly any changes have been necessary for almost 10 years. In 2007 the publishers and I decided to revise the book carefully. In spring 2009 the new edition of „Gentleman. A Timeless Fashion“ will be launched.
Gentleman
Gentleman is considered the world’s most widely read book on fashion because it has been translated into 18 languages.

British Tradition and Interior Design.

After Gentleman had been released Claudia Piras and I wrote a book on British lifestyles. We suggested that Rupert Tenison should take the photos. He had shot a number of very good photographs for Gentleman and to us he seemed perfectly suited for he job. Without Rupert and his wife Francesca a good deal of the interior shots would have not been possible to take. Most of them were photographed in private homes of people they knew. Working with Rupert and Francesca was great fun because they are wonderful people.
British Tradition and Interior Design
This book is one of my favourite works although clothes only play a minor role in it. To many fans of British lifestyle it has become something like a bible.
