Five Questions For Daniel Peters
FashionBeans: What was your most recent fashion purchase? Daniel Peters: Most recently, I picked up a pair of the classic Old Skool white leather Vans Era. What was it that made you buy them? You can’t beat a fresh pair of all-white trainers. I spotted them in Size Covent Garden for an absolute bargain so they had to come home with me. Vans Era PRM, £57 at Size?.
What’s your next purchase? I think I’ll be investing in a Dent De Man Eau de Vie bird print coat. It’s a great piece for adding a little bit of style personality. Dent De Man Eau de Vie coat, £450 at BBS Clothing.
What’s your current daily essential item? I can’t help but wear a sweatshirt on a daily basis at the moment, namely a grey marl number. It’s my staple piece and I have an assortment of colours to keep things from looking stale. We recommend Sunspel for high quality basics.
What would be your dream purchase this season? I’m lusting after a new suit, and in particular have my eye on a grey A. Sauvage number. A Made-to-Measure service is available from A. Sauvage.
