Hotel of choice: "In Paris I stay in a tiny boutique hotel called Hotel Bachaumont. The attention to detail is awesome, and they treat me really well." Favorite getaway: "The ultimate vacation for me is just beach. I love having water around me. Tulum, Mexico is like no other." Denim: "I love raw A.P.C. denim. It reminds me of the jeans I wore as a kid—old-school. I've paired that with classic [Adidas] Stan Smiths since I was 16." Timepiece: "The one my wife gave me, a Pasha by Cartier." Tools of the trade: "Hikari scissors—they're a Japanese shear I've been cutting with for probably 25 years. And I cut with a very specific Italian comb that is 10 inches long and white, L'ami Doré." Hot wheels: "I have a vintage 1959 356A Porsche that I'm in the process of restoring." Gadget of choice: "I'm not much of an electronics guy. I have a fold-up planner that I carry with me to keep track of my life. I like to read and hold and feel things." On his playlist: "I lean towards classic rock—Led Zeppelin. Right now instead of listening to "Black Dog," I prefer their ballad work. Now I can appreciate the lyrics." Essential reading: "The Financial Times—the Sunday section, especially. And Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. I read it when I turned 30. It was pivotal." . "The ulTimaTe vacaTion for me is beach. Tulum, mexico is like no oTher." —anthony cristiano clockwise from top right: Hair legend Vidal Sassoon with client and fashion designer Mary Quant in the 1960s; Tulum, Mexico; a 1956 Porsche 356A; Cartier's Pasha watch; the boutique Hotel Bachaumont in Paris.
