Hugh is my favourite person to have photographed, not
only for his impeccable style, but for his friendly and charming
character. As talkative as he was dapper, we had a conversation on the
street corner for more than twenty minutes, from which I learnt that he
is a Park Ranger in Croydon, studied biochemistry at university,
understands Latin, and (unsurprisingly) values the importance of
face-to-face conversation.
He wears a Burberry coat, Ben Sherman suit, waistcoat
from Paris, shoes from Foster & Son, shirt from Emma Willis (with
collar by Budd), Churchill classic bow tie from Turnbull & Asser,
and hat from Bates. He could not tell me where his umbrella originated,
however did suggest the best shop for quality umbrellas is 'James Smith
& Son' on New Oxford Street. A fashionable and most interesting gentleman; it was a true pleasure to have made his acquaintance one sunny afternoon in London.
This is the best picture ever. He looks amazing. Love it!
