A minimum requirement for all, in dizzying heights. At Balenciaga Boutiques Worldwide www.balenciaga.com Look:For women, an asymmetrical short dress and for men, a tuxedo; both in experimental fabrics or prints. Classic in form but modern in content. www.analocking.com Scent or fragrance:Any from the French house Etat Libre D'Orange, created by Etienne de Swardt, one of the best noses in the world.

Formentera: www.geckobeachclub.com For long trips, Southeast Asia. I love Thailand or Cambodia, beautiful beaches with a fascinating culture. Artists:From the 70's videos of Bruce Nauman, the performance actions of Joseph Beuys and Marina Abramovic, the landscape photography of Andreas Gursky and Bernd & Hilla Becher, the portrait photography of Richard Avedon and August Sander, the paintings of Gerhard Richter and Basquiat to the sculptures of Jeff Koons or Paul McCarthy. Music:I'm very eclectic; I like everything from the classics, Bowie, Devo, Michael Jackson or New Order to the latest groups like Animal Collective, Yeasayer, Wild Beast or The Big Pink. I also like the experimental, like Throbbing Gristle, Autechre, Gescom or Aphex Twin. Indulgence:Buying art, whenever I can... - Victor Vargas |
