My favourite item is a pair of Prada 'Holiday in Brown' print pyjamas - not, I hasten to add, worn as pyjamas ever. But they are great for wearing around the house, or the bottoms with a T-shirt to lounge around in on holiday.
Too many homes are without a full-length mirror.
David Beckham has a lot to answer for, with his highlights, crazy jeans, spray-on tan... Why do so many straight men want to look like a gay idol?
I don't get everything for free, but I do get amazing gifts. The best was a full-length chocolate-brown leather Yves St Laurent coat. Pretty special.
The item I've owned the longest is a Junior Gaultier cropped trouser suit, paid for by hard graft at rubbish Saturday jobs. In the early Nineties it looked the business in the Midlands.
My biggest mistake was a DIY hairstyle. I wanted Bowie-esque blond hair, but tried doing it myself with a pair of thinning scissors and a couple of bottles of Sun-In. The result was patchy and orange - tragic.
I wouldn't wear a lot of the things that I shoot, but I really like them. Some of the stuff, I don't know who'd wear that - it's a bit of a fantasy thing. I find it really boring when you look in those men's magazines and it's just what people are already wearing - what's the point of that?
