And I live a very clean life – no alcohol, no drugs, no nothing – but I do love potato chips on Sunday nights. They have strings down the side, and one panel overlaps the other at the knee.Īn indulgence I would never forgo is skiing in Aspen in the winter and playing tennis in Southampton in summer – both require taking significant time off, which is an indulgence. The last item of clothing I added to my wardrobe was a pair of Austrian-style leather trousers, made for me by my top-secret tailor. I also like the Barcelona Pavilion – same guy. No one has surpassed it in terms of elegance, site, the beautiful fountains on the pink granite plaza, the gold ceramic tile detailing. My favourite building is the Seagram Building in midtown Manhattan, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Day one is back and thighs day two is chest and tris day three is legs day four is shoulders and arms and the fifth day is yoga and stretching. The thing I couldn’t do without is my five-day-a-week, early-morning exercise routine.
